Stolen Night isn't the finished article yet, but she is forward enough to make her presence felt at Pukekohe Park today. "She's quite promising and I've rated her from day one, but she's not quite there yet physically or mentally," he said. Stolen Night finished a respectable fifth on debut at Te Teko in January and was then runner-up at Wanganui, after racing three wide without cover, before she was given a break. "She got quite stressed out down there and didn't eat for a week afterwards," Mirabelli said. "She's got plenty of ability, but she can be quite tricky - she's a highly strung mare."
