Races ORX Avondale - NZ

Dual acceptor. Recent form sound. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Arawa Park on July 2 over 1400m, on heavy track; 1.3 len behind Mitonic with 56.5kg at $9.50. The race before that 4th of 12 at Cambridge Synthetic on June 18 over 1550m, 3 len behind Amira D'argento with 54.5kg at $4. Heading the right way and is a great chance to break through.

Most recently 3rd of 11 at Pukekohe on June 25 over 1500m, on rain affected going; 2 len behind Marriage Vows carrying 58.5kg at $17.40. The race before that 10th of 14 at Matamata on June 15 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 16 len behind Fastdeeldun with 55.5kg at $14.70. Won't be far away.

Pam Gerard trained four-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Looked good in a recent trial win. Inside barrier will assist chances. Promising type who looks a top chance at his first outing.

Second run back. First-up after 10 months ran last of 12 at Cambridge Synthetic on June 18 over 1550m, 19 len behind Amira D'argento with 51kg at $137.90. Previously second-up second last of 9 at Taupo on August 21 over 1800m, slow going 7 len behind Rosina with 58.5kg at $35.90. Not for us.

Second-up. First start second last of 14 at Ruakaka on August 3 over 1600m, slow going 17 len behind Quill carrying 54.5kg at $57.70. Went for a break before returning eased back early on 8th of 11 at Pukekohe on June 25 over 1500m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Marriage Vows with 54.5kg at $59.20. Not going well enough.

Four-year-old gelding (Mongolian Falcon - Mabsam) will no doubt benefit from the six trials leading in today's debut. Was third in a Cambridge Synthetic trial over 2800m on July 7. Prepared to risk this time from an awkward barrier.

Third-up today. Comes off a 52 day let-up. Resuming 15th of 17 at Ellerslie on May 7 over 1600m, slow going 11 len behind Gate Crashers with 58.5kg at $121.90. Second run from a spell 13th of 15 at Ellerslie on May 25 over 1600m, slow going 13 len behind Natoya carrying 58.5kg at $97.90. In the mix at some big odds.

Third-up today. Resuming second last of 12 at Tauranga on May 28 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 21 len behind Lae Zee carrying 58.5kg at $59.10. Second-up 9th of 11 at Pukekohe on June 25 over 1500m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Marriage Vows with 58.5kg at $52.80. Hard to have.

First starter. Four-year-old gelding by Ghibellines out of Short Of Cents. At the most recent trial finished fifth at Avondale over 1200m. Let the market be your best guide.

Last start 2nd of 11 at Pukekohe on June 25 over 1500m, on rain affected going; 0.8 len behind Marriage Vows with 56.5kg at $1.90. The start before that 9th of 16 at Te Rapa on June 14 over 1400m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Timetoplaythegame with 56.5kg at $10.90. Hard to beat on the back of that sort of form.

Third-up today. First-up 6th of 14 at Tauranga on June 21 over 1200m, on heavy track; 4 len behind Accentuate with 56.5kg at $71.10. Last start 3rd of 7 at Tauranga on July 6 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 3 len behind Sally carrying 56.5kg at $12. Leading hope this time.

Dual acceptor. Third race start today. At debut, 5th of 11 at Matamata on June 15 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Elle McFab with 56.5kg at $13.90. Second-up 6th of 12 at Arawa Park on July 2 over 1400m, in the wet; 10 len behind Mitonic with 56.5kg at $18.90. Longer trip suits so worth some thought.
