On debut second of 12 at Pukekohe April 2 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Jack Crabb with 58.5kg at $1.60. Likely to return bigger and better this prep.

On debut ran last in a small field at Tauranga July 6 over 1200m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind Eligius with 58.5kg at $3.40. Thereabouts last time and could sneak a place here.

First starter. Five-year-old gelding by Belardo out of Midnight Story purchased for NZD $ 10,500 (NZB 2022 National Online Yearling Sale). At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1100m at Ellerslie October 23. Watch for any market moves.

First starter by Staphanos out of Swissilicious. Trialled on April 15 when second at Cambridge Synthetic over 950m. Watch for any market confidence.

First starter by Sweynesse - Simply Put purchased for NZD $ 60,000 (NZB 2024 Ready 2 Run Sale). Has run a number of ordinary trials prior to his debut today. Unlikely to find enough improvement to trouble these.

Second-up. First-up after five months 10th of 14 at Ellerslie on October 18 over 1200m, 9 len behind Miss Fladgate carrying 56.5kg at $21.20. Previously second-up 5th of 12 at Tauranga on May 28 over 1400m, on a wet track; 8 len behind Prudentia with 56.5kg at $3. Rates highly and can do much better this time.

Comes off a 32 day let-up. Last start 9th of 12 at Taupo on October 10 over 1000m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Hot Card carrying 56.5kg at $62.70. The run before that 4th of 9 at Cambridge Synthetic on September 24 over 970m, 3.5 len behind Perfect Habit carrying 56.5kg at $25.80. Fully tested from this draw.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, second last of 7 at Matamata on September 12 over 1400m, in the wet; 14 len behind Misellabel with 55.5kg at $12. Second-up 5th of 12 at Avondale on October 8 over 1200m, on heavy track; 5 len behind Pulsatilla with 56.5kg at $46.40. With further improvement can play a major role.

Dual acceptor. At debut, 4th of 12 at Taupo on October 10 over 1000m, slow going 2.5 len behind Hot Card with 54kg at $10.50. Promising three-year-old filly who has plenty of scope for improvement.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old filly (Frosted - Jip Jip Rock). She has four recent trials prior to her debut today. Finished fourth in a Ellerslie trial over 800m on October 23. Looks ready to run a big race.

Dual acceptor. Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when 7th of 9 at Matamata on May 14 over 1200m, in the wet; 6 len behind Alacritous with 55.5kg at $2.20. Looks all set for a effective return.

Dual acceptor. Filly by U S Navy Flag on debut. Trial form indicates she's up to a solid debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Te Rapa on September 23 over 900m. Tough assignment.

Dual acceptor. Four-year-old gelding making debut by Super Seth out of Lego. Was second in a 1100m trial on October 23 at Ellerslie. Beautifully drawn and is sure to be well fancied.

Dual acceptor. Resuming. Not seen since she finished last of 9 at Cambridge Synthetic August 29 over 1300m, 23 len behind Super Star Dragon carrying 56.5kg at $42.30. On debut ran last of 7 at this track July 27 over 1150m, on heavy track; 17 len behind Zenith carrying 55.5kg at $11.30. Prefer to see how she returns.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today. First-up 6th of 13 at this track on October 22 over 1150m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Waiata with 58.5kg at $78.90. Last start 9th of 11 at Ellerslie on November 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Golden Wings with 58.5kg at $86.70. Outclassed.

Dual acceptor. Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 12 at Taupo on September 17 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Scolera carrying 56kg at $2.50. Last start ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Taupo on October 10 over 1100m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind General Menari carrying 57.5kg at $2.90. Coming along nicely and is one of the main chances.

Dual acceptor. At debut, couldn't go on with it; second last of 9 at Taupo on October 10 over 1100m, on a slow track; 15 len behind Hasstorock with 57.5kg at $11.10. Doubt he will trouble these.
