Races ORX Riccarton Park - NZ

Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; scored a big 4.5 len win at Oamaru July 20 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Kiwi Magic carrying 57kg at $2.10. The race before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 7 at this track on June 21 over 1000m, on rain affected going; head behind Cool Aza Rene with 56.5kg at $4.40. Worth following up.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since winning by nose Riverton April 19 over 1100m on heavy track defeating Fourofus carrying 55kg at $6.30. On debut sixth of 14 at this track March 22 over 1000m, soft track; 7 len behind Zelia carrying 54.5kg at $40.20. One of the leading chances.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign second of 12 at Riverton April 19 over 1100m, in the wet; a nose behind Four The Moment carrying 55kg at $3.90. On debut fourth in a small field at this track November 13 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Cool Aza Rene carrying 57kg at $27.50. Can run a good race despite the gap between runs.

Gelding by What's The Story facing the starter for the first time. Won trial at Foxton over 1000m on July 22. Big chance to make an immediate impact.

At debut, 5th of 8 at Oamaru on July 20 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind El Vaquero with 55kg at $21.50. Others look better prospects.

First starter by Proisir - Vickezznrehab. Hasn't set the track alight with her trials leading into today's race. Not seen on the track to assess positively. Wait and see her under race conditions.

First-starter by Ancient Spirit out of Zawhip. Makes debut on home track so keep a close eye on any market push.
