Image: Racing NZ

Legarto just holds the call with the betting companies for the New Zealand Stakes (2000m) this afternoon at Ellerslie.

The star mare isn’t what she used to be but is holding current form pretty well and appears hard to beat. She is at $3.60.

Kingswood is at $4 on the second line of betting, with Pier at $4.20. Waitak is at $8.50 and is being kept safe with top wagering apps.
