STAR SHADOW is expected to be the odds-on favourite for the Champagne Stakes at Pukekohe on Saturday. The Te Akau filly has done little wrong in her two starts to date, winning in heavy going on debut and running fifth in listed company at her second start. She is the only race winner in this field. TAKE THE CROWN could give Star Shadow a run for her money. He ran third two weeks agio at New Plymouth so has to be right in this. It is hard to fancy the others.
