At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Wanganui on November 22 over 1340m, slow going head behind Tommy Star carrying 55.5kg at $22.50. Before that second last of 10 at Waverley on November 14 over 1400m, slow going 15 len behind Eizus with 58.5kg at $44.10. Among the chances based on that latest performance.

Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Waipukurau on November 16 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Leica Pearl carrying 56.5kg at $6.90. The race before that 8th of 14 at Woodville on November 2 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5 len behind East End Lad with 58.5kg at $4.10. No surprise if he was in the finish.

Third race start today. At big odds at debut, second last of 11 at Ellerslie on November 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Golden Wings carrying 57.5kg at $32.30. Last start 4th of 12 at Wanganui on November 22 over 1340m, slow going 0.7 len behind Tommy Star carrying 56.5kg at $9.60. Likely to measure up again with a repeat performance.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation 11th of 14 at Te Aroha on July 27 over 1400m, in the wet; 11 len behind Scarlet Temple with 54.5kg at $36.80. When resuming last campaign 8th of 12 at Matamata on May 14 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind Pistol Whip carrying 56.5kg at $20.70. Won't threaten at this stage of the prep.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation sixth of 11 at Cambridge Synthetic August 8 over 1550m, 9 len behind Mister Meaner with 56kg at $4.90. When resuming last campaign eighth of 12 at Waverley July 25 over 1400m, in the wet; 7 len behind Another Won't Hurt carrying 53.5kg at $3.10. Expected to feature.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 4th of 13 at Matamata on October 17 over 1400m, on heavy track; 3 len behind Bradley carrying 56kg at $5.50. Second-up gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 9 at Tauherenikau on November 9 over 1400m, slow going 1.0 len behind Merrilegs with 57kg at $5.30. Has plenty of upside and is among the leading chances.

Three-year-old gelding (Savabeel - Brancolare). He has three recent trials leading in today's debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Taupo on October 30 over 900m. Should get all the favours from this good gate so may well pay to keep safe.

Third-up today. First-up 8th of 12 at Taupo on October 10 over 1000m, slow going 4 len behind Hot Card with 56.5kg at $8.50. Second-up came from the tail of the field 2nd of 11 at Arawa Park on November 16 over 1230m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind L'aigle Noir carrying 56.5kg at $6. Profiles nicely. Ready to win.

Most recently 5th of 13 at Te Aroha on November 11 over 1150m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Rise Companions with 56.5kg at $23.20. Before that 5th of 12 at Avondale on October 8 over 1200m, on a wet track; 5 len behind Pulsatilla with 56.5kg at $46.40. Don't underestimate.

Second run back. First-up after six months ran last of 12 at Waipukurau on November 16 over 1200m, 13 len behind Zorero carrying 54.5kg at $21.70. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Awapuni Synthetic on May 25 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Ka Ying Lucky carrying 54kg at $5.60. Can do much better this time with the run under her belt.

On debut. Four-year-old mare by Redwood out of Twenty Angels. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1150m at Te Awamutu November 18. Looks tested in this line-up.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today. First-up 6th of 13 at Woodville on November 2 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Lets All Boogie with 56.5kg at $75.60. Second run from a spell 6th of 8 at this track on November 21 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind New York Belle carrying 57.5kg at $15.50. Not going well enough at this stage.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Tivaci out of Capinsky. At the most recent trial finished fourth at a Foxton over 1000m November 11. Looks set for a bold showing.

Resuming after a six months break. Not seen since she finished last of 10 at Wanganui May 31 over 1200m, in the wet; 20 len behind Platinum Diamond carrying 54kg at $11.80. On debut sixth of 8 at Hawera May 6 over 1100m, soft track; 6 len behind Spandeedo carrying 55.5kg at $16.90. Certain to be right in the mix.
