Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming 7th of 9 at Te Rapa on August 9 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Jethro Tull with 55kg at $14.30. Second run from a spell second last of 12 at Te Rapa on August 23 over 1200m, on heavy track; 4.5 len behind Mo Charaid carrying 54.5kg at $26.20. Draws out again but capable of a bold run.

Second run back. First-up after seven months second last in a small field at Cambridge Synthetic on August 20 over 970m, 2.5 len behind Seamsew with 54kg at $22.50. Previously second-up 7th of 11 at Te Aroha on November 27 over 1100m, 5 len behind Hankee Alpha with 58.5kg at $54.80. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Resuming. Only had one start last campaign second last of 13 at Ellerslie on June 7 over 1200m, slow going 21 len behind Beneath The Stars with 55kg at $74.60. First up last campaign 4th of 14 at Te Rapa on May 18 2024 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 2.5 len behind Overrated carrying 57.5kg at $11.90. Finished ninth in a Te Awamutu trial over 1150m on August 26. Prefer to see how he returns.

Second run back. First-up after six months eased back early on 7th of 9 at this track on August 16 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 21 len behind Elysian Fields carrying 56kg at $5.40. Previously second-up 8th of 12 at Ellerslie on January 1 over 1500m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Chateau Vallee carrying 55kg at $5.90. Will come on from that run and should be right in the mix.

Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 10 at Arawa Park on August 13 over 1950m, in the wet; 5 len behind Overrated carrying 54.5kg at $6.50. Before that 3rd of 13 at Te Aroha on July 27 over 1400m, on a wet track; 2.5 len behind Brian Lamont with 54.5kg at $8. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Most recently 6th of 8 at this track on August 16 over 1600m, on a wet track; 9 len behind Super Rosa with 53kg at $10.90. The start before that 5th of 10 at this track on August 2 over 1300m, slow going 5 len behind Dancing Dream with 54.5kg at $18.10. Good enough to turn things around.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Freshened for 48 days. Resuming 8th of 11 at Awapuni Synthetic on July 4 over 1200m, 6 len behind Sam's Turn with 56kg at $18.50. Second run from a spell raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at Awapuni Synthetic on July 17 over 1700m, 7 len behind Frosbie carrying 53.5kg at $9.90. Has ability and gets her chance to find some form.

Dual acceptor. Most recently 5th of 11 at Te Rapa on August 9 over 1300m, on heavy track; 3 len behind Rocking with 56.5kg at $10.70. The race before that faded in the straight 5th of 9 at Cambridge Synthetic on July 23 over 1300m, 2 len behind Oban with 55kg at $13.60. In the mix.

The race before that ran last of 7 at Cambridge Synthetic on August 8 over 1300m, 12 len behind Cyber Patch carrying 54kg at $38.50. In the mix again.

Gelding by Wrote facing the starter for the first time. Finished fourth in a Ellerslie trial over 1100m on April 3. Prefer to see.

Four-year-old gelding (Cable Bay - Snow Bell) who was bought for AUD $ 40,000 (Inglis 2022 Great Southern Weanling Sale). He has four recent trials leading in today's debut. Won his most recent trial at Cambridge over 900m on August 5. Trial winner who should be very competitive.
