Races ORX Cromwell - NZ

Has been about the mark in small fields of late. Last start finished second at Riverton over 2147m. Worth plenty of thought.

Last start ran last of 12 at Riccarton Park on November 12 over 2000m, slow going 10 len behind Sunset Boulevard with 57kg at $28.40. The start before that 5th of 11 at Ashburton on October 31 over 1600m, slow going 0.9 len behind Queen Of Kings carrying 57kg at $6. Expect improvement on recent effort.

Most recently 5th of 10 at Ascot Park on November 23 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Sestina carrying 57kg at $8.20. The run before that didn't finish the race at Riccarton Park September 27 over 2000m. Major player.

Second run back. First-up after five months 2nd in a small field at Riverton on November 2 over 1600m, on heavy track; 0.8 len behind Master Marko with 54kg at $8.20. Previously second-up 5th of 14 at Gore on February 2 over 2000m, slow going 4.5 len behind In Vegas with 55.5kg at $18.60. Top hope.

Last start 8th of 12 at Riccarton Park on November 12 over 2000m, slow going 4.5 len behind Sunset Boulevard carrying 54kg at $65.90. The race before that second last of 8 at Riverton on November 2 over 2147m, on rain affected going; 30 len behind Prince Alby with 56kg at $24.60. Well-placed so expect a lot more.

Most recently 4th of 13 at Phar Lap Racecourse on November 19 over 2200m, 2.5 len behind California Gold with 58kg at $13.50. Before that did the work up front then tired second last of 9 at Riccarton Park on November 8 over 2000m, 6 len behind Sunset Boulevard carrying 62kg at $26.70. Ridden last time by a claiming apprentice, replaced for this assignment by a senior rider.

At the latest run 4th in a small field at Riverton on November 2 over 1600m, in the wet; 2.75 len behind Master Marko carrying 52kg at $14.50. The race before that 5th of 12 at Ascot Park on October 3 over 1400m, in the wet; 6 len behind Sir Sterling with 56kg at $60.40. Definitely worth including.

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Last start 12th of 14 at Riccarton Park in the LR Easter Classic on October 25 over 2000m, 9 len behind Sir Albert with 53kg at $76.20. Before that 4th of 12 at Ashburton on October 11 over 2200m, 8 len behind Court Of Appeal carrying 54kg at $27.40. Hard to see her playing a role.

Most recently 6th of 15 at Riccarton Park on November 15 over 1600m, on a wet track; 5 len behind Island Hop with 56.5kg at $4.70. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at Phar Lap Racecourse October 9 over 1600m in soft going defeating Orsome Dude carrying 59.5kg at $2.20. Worth another chance.

At the latest run 5th of 13 at Wingatui on November 4 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Loose Sally carrying 58kg at $10. The start before that won by 0.8 len at Wingatui October 17 over 1600m in the wet defeating Queen Of Kings carrying 59.5kg at $7.10. Definite winning chance. Disappointing last time but can do better.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up got back early 9th of 13 at Wingatui on October 17 over 1600m, in the wet; 10 len behind Tralee Bay carrying 54.5kg at $10.80. Second-up set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 13 at Wingatui on November 4 over 1600m, 1.3 len behind Loose Sally with 54kg at $17.90. Bold run expected.

Most recently 6th of 13 at Phar Lap Racecourse on November 19 over 2200m, 4 len behind California Gold carrying 52kg at $14.10. The run before that ran last of 13 at Riccarton Park in the LR Metropolitan Hcp on November 8 over 2600m, 18 len behind Just Charlie carrying 53kg at $60.60. Looks tested in this line-up.
