Races ORX Riccarton Park - NZ

Form hard to fault. Most recently led but faded 3rd of 16 at this track in the G3 Winter Cup on August 2 over 1600m, in the wet; 1.3 len behind Chase with 58kg at $8. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Trentham June 28 over 1600m in heavy going defeating Chantilly Lace with 57.5kg at $5.40. Likely to feature again.

Resuming after a spell of ten weeks. Finished off last campaign by 1.75 len Wanganui LR May 31 over 1600m in the wet defeating Belardo Boy carrying 57kg at $8.60. First up last campaign eighth of 12 at this track September 14 over 1200m, soft track; 5 len behind Perfect Scenario with 54kg at $31. Expect she will go well.

Last start 6th of 16 at this track in the G3 Winter Cup on August 2 over 1600m, on a wet track; 4 len behind Chase with 54.5kg at $26.50. The start before that 4th of 12 at Oamaru on July 20 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 1.3 len behind Royal Valour carrying 58kg at $6.80. Capable of a lot more so it will be no surprise to see him back in form here.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 8th of 14 at Oamaru on July 20 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 4 len behind Candle carrying 55.5kg at $6.80. Second-up 3rd of 8 at this track on August 2 over 1200m, on heavy track; 1.5 len behind Candle carrying 56kg at $6.40. Rates highly.

At the latest run 9th of 12 at Oamaru on July 20 over 1600m, in the wet; 9 len behind Royal Valour carrying 55.5kg at $81.20. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Phar Lap Racecourse on June 10 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 5.5 len behind He's Tunza Grunt carrying 57kg at $5.30. Unlikely to threaten.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 7th of 14 at Oamaru on July 20 over 1200m, in the wet; 4 len behind Candle carrying 57kg at $7.40. Second-up ran last of 16 at this track in the G3 Winter Cup on August 2 over 1600m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Chase carrying 53kg at $51. Likely improver who should be in the mix.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of ten weeks. Finished off last preparation when last of 9 at Wingatui June 1 over 1400m, in the wet; 21 len behind Lord Darci carrying 52kg at $4.60. Previously first up; fourth of 14 at Wingatui October 18 over 1200m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Tikki with 58.5kg at $3.20. Great chance.

Last start 5th of 8 at this track on August 2 over 1200m, on a wet track; 2.75 len behind Candle with 53.5kg at $4.10. Before that 4th of 14 at Oamaru on July 20 over 1200m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind Candle carrying 54kg at $8.60. Sure to be thereabouts.

Most recently raced on the pace before fading 9th of 16 at this track in the G3 Winter Cup on August 2 over 1600m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Chase with 53kg at $18.20. The race before that 6th of 12 at Oamaru on July 20 over 1600m, on heavy track; 2 len behind Royal Valour with 54kg at $5.20. Better than the last start suggests.
