ARCHAEC SMILE and POETIC CHAMPION impressed when preparing for Saturdays Breeders Stakes day at Matamata this Saturday.

 ARCHAIC SMILE, who will take her place in the two year old fillies classic couldn't have been more impressive  winning the Wellesley Stakes last start. She looks in fantastic order and should prove tough to beat.
