Well-related mare Tessastock will attempt to add a stakes success to her CV at Awapuni today.
The daughter of Tavistock will go into the $50,000 Manawatu ITM Anzac 1550 off the back of her resuming effort at Pukekohe where she finished third behind Martiniz Special and the subsequent group placegetter Camino Rocoso.
"That was a very good run and she just came to the end of it the last bit," said Graham Richardson, who trains the four-year-old with Gavin Parker.
"She has definitely improved since then and the Slow 7 track should be perfect for her."
Bred and raced by Kevin Hickman, Tessastock is from the family of Humidor, who won last season's Manawatu Classic on the track before transferring to Darren Weir's stable, for whom he won last month's Australian Cup.
