At the latest run couldn't go on with it; 12th of 14 at Ellerslie on May 25 over 1400m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Super Fly carrying 58.5kg at $5.70. Before that 2nd of 11 at Ellerslie on May 7 over 1200m, slow going 2.75 len behind Moxie carrying 57.5kg at $4.80. Poor at last start. Ran second in both runs prior. Wide gate but can still win.

Most recently 4th of 10 at Trentham on June 7 over 1200m, in the wet; 6 len behind Luminance with 58.5kg at $34.50. The race before that 8th of 13 at Woodville on April 30 over 1200m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Oscar with 55.5kg at $31.30. Modest at best since resuming for a new yard. Last in both clockwise runs. Likely improver.

Last start eased back early on 9th of 15 at Ellerslie on May 7 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Hero Of War with 58.5kg at $42.40. Before that ran last of 10 at Pukekohe on April 23 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 12 len behind Out Of Exile carrying 58.5kg at $13.10. He may be an 8yo but still racing okay. Not the worst for a place or first four.

Jumped at long odds at debut, 3rd of 13 at Tauranga on May 28 over 1200m, on a wet track; 4 len behind MacAllan with 54.5kg at $27.80. Improver for sure. Looks to have some scope. Trifecta and first four must.

Her only placing came second up. Not out of this.

First starter. Three-year-old filly by Embellish out of Our Vindication. Unplaced in all of her trials. Dan has left Highly Vindicated (2 wins). Several here look better.

Jumped at long odds at debut, second last of 13 at Matamata on May 14 over 1400m, in the wet; 26 len behind Brilliant Battle with 55.5kg at $39.10. Wide gate. Clockwise may help. Impossible to have here.

On debut. Three-year-old filly by Vadamos out of Oodles. Fourth in her only trial over 850m at Te Awamutu May 27. Dam has left two winning foals with Bow Hill (3 wins) the most prolific. Wide gate an issue.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Ace High out of She's Aloof. Unplaced at only trial at Te Awamutu over 850m on May 27. Dam had left Lupo Solitario (3 wins). Drawn well.

Emma Faber trained two-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Scored in a recent Te Awamutu trial. Can get off the mark straight away.

Four-year-old gelding (Star Turn - Antonine) will no doubt benefit from the four trials prior to his debut today. Won a barrier trial over 1100m at Ellerslie on June 9. Betting the best guide.

Finished off last campaign sixth of 8 at Woodville November 17 over 1200m, in the wet; 6 len behind Sumosaurus carrying 56.5kg at $5.90.

First starter by Shocking out of French. Only trial was on March 11 at Ellerslie when third over 800m. Wide gate. Dam has left four winning foals with Comte (7 wins) the most prolific. Third ballot.

Gelding by U S Navy Flag facing the starter for the first time. Has run third in both of his trials. Drawn out. Fourth ballot here.

Dual acceptor. At debut, 8th of 13 at Tauranga on May 28 over 1200m, on a wet track; 14 len behind MacAllan carrying 55.5kg at $23. Hard to see her threatening.
