None of the fillies in Saturday’s Eulogy Stakes field have Filly of the Year Series points to their name, but the race is worth 6 points to the winner, with 3 points for second and 1.5 for third.

The Eulogy Stakes field is headed by the undefeated Shezzacatch (NZ) (Savabeel), whose two-out-of-two record includes a victory against male three-year-olds in the Listed El Roca-Sir Colin Meads Trophy (1200m) in September.

Key (Exceed and Excel) and White Lightning (NZ) (Reliable Man) are both winners who placed at Group Three level in their last start, while Signora Nera (NZ) (Sweynesse), Chikira Lass (NZ) (Proisir), Regal Ruby (NZ) (Night of Thunder), Samina Bibi (NZ) (Reliable Man), Sumi (NZ) (Atlante) and Whimsical (NZ) (Savabeel) all won their most recent starts.

The LawnMaster Eulogy Stakes will be run as Race 7 on Saturday with a start time of 4:19pm (NZT).
