Races ORP Woodville - NZ

Jumped at big odds at debut, rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 8 at Waverley on April 10 over 1400m, on heavy track; 1.5 len behind Powerofpersuasion carrying 57.5kg at $32.10. The 300m drop in trip here is a plus. Can go one or two better here.

Gelding by Castelvecchio facing the starter for the first time. Has had two trials for a win then a fifth. Dam has left six winning foals with Rare Episode (6 wins) the most prolific. Tote will be the best tell.

Scratched.

First-starter by Time Test out of Miss Moore. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Dam has left More To Be Written (1 win). Drawn wide. Market the best guide to his chances.

First-starter by Zacinto out of Chasing Waterfalls. Not seen on the trial track yet so hard to assess. Wide draw in this too. The betting is the best pointer to his chances.

On debut. Three-year-old gelding by Derryn out of Porotene Park. Unplaced in a trial last year when fifth on April 30 at Waverley over 800m. Ace gate in this. The tote will be your best guide.

On debut. Three-year-old gelding by Telperion out of Piriaka. He ran fourth on April 15 at Foxton over 850m. The tote will be the most telling. Drawn okay.

Finished off last campaign second last of 8 at Wanganui February 21 over 1200m, soft track; 7 len behind Colour Chart with 55.5kg at $3. On debut second in a small field at Otaki January 6 over 1200m, soft track; 1.5 len behind Albarossa with 55.5kg at $4.60. Led up at first two runs when second each time. Drawn well fresh up. Obvious chance.

Bryce Newman trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut. Looked good in a recent trial win. Drawn out but she will attract some backing here. Include everywhere.

First-up after four months second last of 7 at New Plymouth Raceway on March 8 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Archaic Smile with 54kg at $32.70. Previously second-up 6th of 11 at Otaki on October 19 over 1200m, 5 len behind Kalledu Thunder carrying 55.5kg at $18.10. Improver on fresh up run. Trial winner easily in February. Wide draw.

First-starter by Darci Brahma out of Tiger Moss. Not seen on the trial track yet so hard to assess. Awkward barrier drawn. Best guide for sure will be the tote quote.

First starter by Ardrossan out of Sophia Magia. Ran third in an Awapuni trial over 1000m April 8. Dam has left the full brother Codigo (4 wins). Keep safe on the tote here.

Finished off last preparation when last of 8 at Otaki 3yo Mdn-Sw November 3 over 1600m, soft track; 11 len behind Movin Out carrying 53.5kg at $31.80. Previously first up; ninth of 11 at Otaki October 19 over 1200m, 13 len behind Kalledu Thunder carrying 53.5kg at $63.60. New stable fresh up. Not liked.

Three-year-old filly (Highland Reel - Chorus). She has had five trials for four placings. Well drawn. Several here look superior.

Dual acceptor. Finished off last preparation ninth of 11 at Otaki on November 3 over 1200m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Vanish with 57.5kg at $8.30. Previously first up; fifth of 10 at New Plymouth Raceway September 14 over 990m, in the wet; 12 len behind Jetalal carrying 56kg at $9.80. Was a trial second earlier this month. Expecting a strong run fresh. Can counter the wide gate.

Dual acceptor. First starter by Time Test out of Waiana Gold. Has had a total of two trials prior to his debut today for one third. Dam has left Triple Triple (3 wins) and Pablo Esk (3 wins). Drawn very wide.
