Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last preparation fifth of 7 at Trentham 2yo SWP May 10 over 1200m, on heavy track; 10 len behind Country Salon with 56kg at $8.30. On debut third of 7 at Tauherenikau January 2 over 1000m, soft track; a neck behind In The Air carrying 57kg at $4.90. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Expected to feature.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Hello Youmzain out of Crescendo. Won a trial over 1000m at Foxton on October 21. Looks all set to run well.

First-starter by Puccini out of Marshal. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

Filly back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign third of 8 at Otaki in the LR July 26 over 1200m, in the wet; 2 len behind Platinum Diamond carrying 55kg at $10. First up last campaign third of 8 at Hawera May 6 over 1100m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Spandeedo with 55.5kg at $7.80. In the mix on best form.

Second-up. Comes off a 46-day let-up. First-up after four months ran last of 12 at Taupo on September 17 over 1400m, slow going 28 len behind Amusement carrying 55kg at $44.10. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at Wanganui on May 31 over 1200m, in the wet; 8 len behind Platinum Diamond carrying 54kg at $49.60. That run was a bit plain so prefer her later on.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Per Incanto out of Shehzaadi. Fourth over 1000m in a Foxton trial on October 21. Pay to keep an eye on betting moves.

Second-up. First start of 10 at Wanganui on May 31 over 1200m, in the wet; 14 len behind Platinum Diamond carrying 51kg at $28.80. Went for a break before returning ran last in a small field at New Plymouth Raceway on September 13 over 1200m, on a wet track; 15 len behind Tulsa King carrying 54kg at $22.40. Can't recommend.
