Second run from a spell 3rd of 7 at this track on November 5 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Sweet Talkin Gal carrying 55.5kg at $25.10. Fitter now and making headway.

Last start eased back early on 4th of 7 at Waverley on November 14 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Abbakiss with 56kg at $38.30. Finds a nice race and can measure up.

Gelding by Time Test facing the starter for the first time. Runner-up in a Foxton trial over 1000m on September 16. Prefer to see.

Filly by Banquo making her first appearance. Won trial at Foxton over 1000m on November 11. Don't rule her out.

At debut, settled back and ran on when 7th of 11 at Te Aroha on November 11 over 1150m, slow going 6 len behind Sibling Rivalry carrying 55.5kg at $17.90. Can do better. Can improve sharply.

First-starter by Ocean Park out of Laura Clark. Tough to line up. Capable of a cheeky run.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old filly making debut by Circus Maximus out of Lisitsa. Was second in an Avondale trial over 1000m November 14. Watch for any market confidence.

Dual acceptor. First-starter by Contributer out of Zafrenzy. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Watch for any market moves.
