Matamata trainer Pam Gerard has elected to bypass Saturday’s Gr.1 Proisir Plate (1400m) with Affirmative Action, which will allow the Stephen Marsh-trained Tardelli to make the 16-horse field.

Romanoff and Affirmative Action gave trainer Pam Gerard a dream result when they quinellaed the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton last year, and the Matamata horsewoman is hoping they can have another successful spring preparation.
