Chief Stipe Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Tony McEvoy is taking a shot at a New Zealand Group One with his two-year-old filly Just Zerene. The China Horse Club-owned daughter of Zoustar will travel across the Tasman tonight and will line up in Saturday’s $200,000 Sistema Stakes at Ellerslie. Just Zerene has had three starts for one placing. She finished sixth on debut in the Gr. 3 BJ McLachlan Stakes, then ran second to the classy Castelvecchio at Canterbury in January. She was an unlucky fifth on Randwick’s Kensington track in her only other start. “About five weeks ago Michael Wallace put the race in front of me and said it was my decision. I thought it was a really good option,” McEvoy told the TDN. “She just hasn’t had any luck at all. She missed the start in the Group Three and was burned up early in a maiden at Canterbury and just got beaten by the Inglis Millennium winner. She was then off the track all the way outside the speed.” “She galloped beautifully (yesterday) and she’s ready to go. She’s really well.” Sam Spratt has been booked for the ride.
