Races ORX Waverley - NZ

Comes off a 56 day let-up. Last start second last in a small field at Awapuni Synthetic on August 24 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Our Akashinga carrying 54.5kg at $5.10. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Awapuni Synthetic on August 3 over 1000m, 1.0 len behind Platinum Designs carrying 52kg at $5.90. Can bounce back after a modest effort last time.

Resuming after a seven months break. Finished off last campaign 11th of 14 at Hawera March 26 over 1600m, soft track; 9 len behind Proboy with 58kg at $9.20. On debut fifth of 9 at Wanganui November 23 over 1340m, soft track; 5 len behind Debbi Harri with 57kg at $16.80. Expecting him to hit the ground running this campaign.

Robbie Patterson trained four-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Won a recent Awapuni trial. Wait and see what he can do.

Dual acceptor. At debut, 8th of 13 at Trentham on September 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Turn It Up carrying 58.5kg at $17.20. Better for that experience and can measure up.

Four-year-old gelding by Sweynesse out of Donna Diva who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Has had no recent barrier trials. Can measure up.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when 2nd of 12 at Woodville on April 30 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Andantino carrying 55.5kg at $4.30. Capable of a bold return.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when 3rd of 11 at Otaki on December 19 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Special Sakura carrying 55.5kg at $9.70. Expecting a strong run fresh.

Second-up. First-up after a year 9th of 13 at Trentham on September 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Turn It Up carrying 56.5kg at $37.70. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Wanganui on July 11 2024 over 1340m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Trainwreck with 52.5kg at $18.60. Expecting her to kick on with that first run out of the way.

First starter by Rageese out of Akela. Third September 3 at Waverley at her only trial. Recent trial at Waverley was encouraging enough so respect any market activity.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last preparation seventh of 11 at Hawera May 18 over 1200m, in the wet; 10 len behind War Queen with 54.5kg at $9.60. On debut sixth of 10 at Pukekohe April 23 over 1200m, on heavy track; 9 len behind Out Of Exile with 57kg at $5.60. Has claims if presented on song.

At debut, 4th of 12 at this track on September 28 over 1200m, slow going 1.5 len behind Shameless Star with 56kg at $13.40. Promising three-year-old gelding who can take this out.

First-starter by Wyndspelle out of Catwomandu. Will pay to keep an eye on betting moves.

Three-year-old filly (Turn Me Loose - Ohakune) who was bought for NZD $ 500 (Gavelhouse 2024 Thoroughbred 14 October auction). She has four recent trials leading in today's debut. Won her most recent trial at Arawa Park over 1000m on September 16. Don't rule her out.
