One to Watch – Matamata

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday October 19
Hasselhoof's three year-old half-brother by champion Australian sire Exceed and Excel lived up to his pre-race reputation with a hollow debut victory at Matamata on Wednesday.

Maraini as a yearlingThe Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained Maraini at outside the leader to the turn and rounded off well in the straight to open his account.

"He's got a lot of ability and he's obviously well-related," Forsman said. "We'll take him along quietly to give him more confidence. A better track will suit him even more as well."

Maraini's sibling Hasselhoof, himself a debut winner, hasn't raced since he finished third in the Group I Livamol Classic.

Already a Group II winner, his long-term aim is the Group I Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup on March 11.

A $120,000 NZB Premier purchase for Bruce Perry Bloodstock from the Pencarrow Stud draft, Maraini is also a sibling to stakes-winner Vercors and is the fifth winner from Zabeel mare Alpine, a placed half-sister to Group I winner Lord Ted.
