Donna Logan’s hopes of a perfect opening to her Singapore training career will rest with a New Zealand-bred three-year-old.

Her first runner at Kranji will be Showcasing’s son Whakaaria Mia, who will contest a maiden 1200m event this evening in the hands of Kiwi jockey Craig Grylls.

Whakaaria Mia trialled twice in New Zealand and won a 1000m heat at Avondale last year before a fourth placing over 1000m on Logan’s former home track at Ruakaka in October.
