Three-year-old gelding making debut by Ace High out of Smash Hit. Was third in an Avondale barrier trial over 800m on June 24 then followed up with a fifth over 850m in a Te Awamutu trial on July 8. Capable of a solid performance.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Savabeel out of Cutting Remark. Was second in a 850m trial on July 8 at Te Awamutu. The stable has a great strike-rate with debutantes.

First starter by Time Test out of Reine De Lune. Trialled on July 8 when second at Te Awamutu over 850m. Cannot be underestimated.

Kylie Hoskin trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut. Won a recent Te Awamutu trial. No surprise to see her feature.

Dean Wiles trained three-year-old filly lining up for first race start. Recent trial winner at Te Awamutu. Good draw will assist chances. Looks set for a bright start to her career.

Filly by Snitzel facing the starter for the first time. Runner-up in an Avondale trial over 1000m on June 24. Stable has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Darci Brahma out of Southern Skies. Was second in a 1150m barrier trial on July 8 at Te Awamutu. Watch for any market confidence.

Third-up today. Freshened for 39 days. First-up raced on the pace before fading 11th of 14 at Matamata on May 14 over 1200m, in the wet; 13 len behind Viva Glam carrying 55.5kg at $12.60. Second run from a spell eased back early on 8th of 12 at Cambridge Synthetic on June 18 over 970m, 6 len behind Love The Sort with 56.5kg at $54.60. Hard to be confident on what we have seen since her return.
