Races ORX Ellerslie - NZ

Recent form sound. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on September 6 over 2200m, on a slow track; head behind Bosch carrying 58kg at $4.40. The start before that favourite; won by a nose at Te Rapa August 23 over 2100m in the wet defeating Tregor carrying 56kg at $4.50. Looks tough to beat in this line-up.

Second run back. First-up after five months got back early 4th of 7 at Wanganui Hcp on August 30 over 2040m, on heavy track; 4 len behind Bozo carrying 57kg at $7. Previously second-up 6th of 10 at Woodville on November 17 over 1600m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Benefactor carrying 60.5kg at $5.30. Strips fitter and expected to figure prominently.

Form hard to fault. Last start won by a head at this track September 6 over 2200m on a soft track defeating Drop Of Something carrying 54kg at $4.60. The start before that 4th in a small field at Ruakaka on August 16 over 1400m, in the wet; 6 len behind Tuxedo with 54kg at $8.80. Multiple winner over this distance and worth following up.

At the latest run 6th of 9 at New Plymouth Raceway on September 13 over 2000m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Tobias carrying 57kg at $8.80. The race before that 2nd of 8 at Te Aroha Hcp on August 31 over 1600m, in the wet; head behind Son Of Sun with 51.5kg at $13.80. Can do much better this time.

Most recently from last on the turn 5th of 9 at this track on September 6 over 2200m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Bosch carrying 55.5kg at $7.10. Before that 5th of 10 at Te Rapa on August 23 over 2100m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind Drop Of Something with 56kg at $5.90. Rates highly and cannot be underestimated.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 56 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 14 at Te Rapa on July 26 over 2200m, in the wet; 1.5 len behind Diamond Jak with 54kg at $2.50. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Te Rapa July 5 over 2400m in the wet defeating Arjay's Flight with 54.5kg at $3.80. Going well enough to take this out.

Second-up. First-up after six months 11th of 18 at this track on September 6 over 1600m, slow going 5.5 len behind Mizella carrying 59.5kg at $54.60. Previously second-up 12th of 14 at Ruakaka on July 13 2024 over 2100m, 11 len behind Fly My Wey with 53kg at $13.10. Will take a lot from that run and is in the mix.

Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 12 at Te Rapa on September 14 over 2200m, in the wet; 4 len behind Notabadspillane with 59kg at $7. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Te Rapa on August 23 over 2100m, on rain affected going; head behind Drop Of Something carrying 54kg at $9.30. Has been racing well. Each way contender on best form.

Most recently won by 0.8 len at this track September 6 over 2200m in soft going defeating I Park with 57kg at $11. The race before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 16 at Te Rapa on August 23 over 2400m, on rain affected going; 5.5 len behind Lord Goliath carrying 60kg at $18. Will be in this for a long way.
