Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd of 10 at this track on November 21 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Laura's Legacy carrying 55.5kg at $12.30. Before that 3rd of 7 at this track on November 5 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Sweet Talkin Gal carrying 55.5kg at $25.10. Can get off the mark without surprising.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 3rd in a small field at this track on October 24 over 1200m, in the wet; 5 len behind Circus Dancer with 57.5kg at $2.40. Second-up ran last of 11 at Te Aroha on November 11 over 1150m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Sibling Rivalry carrying 57.5kg at $12.60. Sure to be thereabouts.

Dual acceptor. Colt by Spirit Of Boom facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a trial at Te Awamutu on November 18 over 850m. Don't rule him out.

First starter by Yes Yes Yes out of Assume purchased for NZD $ 2,400 (Gavelhouse 2024 Thoroughbred 29 April auction). Has a total of three trials prior to his debut today. Should be primed to run well despite a tricky barrier.

First starter by Hello Youmzain out of Waikaha. Trialled once on September 11 at Avondale when second over 800m. Cannot be underestimated.

Back after a long spell. Finished off last campaign 5th of 8 at Te Aroha on June 2 over 1150m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind Cream Tart carrying 55.5kg at $5.50. When resuming last campaign 4th of 7 at Ellerslie on November 30 2024 over 1100m, slow going 2 len behind Toretto with 55.5kg at $8.60. Was runner-up in a trial at Taupo on October 30 over 900m. Great chance to break through.

Third-up today. Resuming 3rd of 7 at Pukekohe on October 29 over 1200m, on heavy track; 0.8 len behind Poppa Dennis with 54.5kg at $3. Second-up struggled in the run home; 7th of 9 at Arawa Park on November 16 over 1230m, slow going 6 len behind To The Max carrying 54kg at $7.30. Promising galloper. Great chance to atone.

Dual acceptor. Filly back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign sixth of 8 at Cambridge Synthetic August 20 over 1300m, 11 len behind Liechtenstein with 52kg at $8.70. Previously first up; eighth of 11 at Ruakaka 2yo SWP July 12 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 18 len behind Yokozuna with 55kg at $6.30. This is an ideal race to kick off. Looks all set for a bright return.

Filly by Flying Artie on debut. Won a Te Awamutu trial over 850m on November 18. Can make an immediate impact despite a difficult gate.

Three-year-old filly (Derryn - Oak Park). She has three recent trials leading in today's debut. Won her most recent trial at Foxton over 1000m on November 11. A betting push will add to the confidence.

First-starter by Eminent out of Katie's So Kool. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.
