Graeme Rogerson is expecting another bold showing from Soriano at Ellerslie on Saturday.

“She’s a genuine weight-for-age horse and this is a good stepping stone to Sydney,” he said. “She’ll only have the one run in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes.”

Already the dual Group One winner of the Zabeel Classic and the Herbie Dyke Stakes, Soriano will bid to add to that record in the Ronald McDonald House Charities New Zealand Stakes. Rory Hutchings again has the ride.
