Second-up. First-up after five months didn't do much in the run home; second last of 12 at Pukekohe in the G3 Counties Bowl Hcp on November 22 over 1100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Ardalio with 53kg at $24. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at this track on July 27 2024 over 1200m, on heavy track; 1.75 len behind Twain with 54.5kg at $3. Expected to finish much closer.

Most recently 4th of 8 at Tauranga on November 15 over 1400m, slow going 2.5 len behind Mary Shan carrying 51.5kg at $1.90. The race before that did the work up front then tired 6th of 14 at Ellerslie on November 4 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4 len behind She's A Dealer with 59kg at $16.90. Must be respected.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up scored a big 4.5 len win at Matamata October 4 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Moneypenny with 54kg at $8.30. Second-up ran last of 8 at Pukekohe in the LR WaikRC Sprint Handicap on November 8 over 1200m, 6 len behind Force Of Nature carrying 53kg at $4.70. Capable of much better and deserves another chance.

Second run back. First-up after seven months won by 1.3 len at Wanganui November 22 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Velton with 57kg at $3.90. Previously second-up 4th of 12 at Trentham on March 22 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Tossuforit with 60kg at $3. Likely to come on from that run.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of six months. Finished off last preparation fourth of 9 at Tauranga in the LR Tauranga Classic June 21 over 1400m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind Cork carrying 55.5kg at $5.60. Previous preparation first-up won by neck Trentham 3yo SWP May 10 over 1200m in the wet defeating Detrimental carrying 54kg at $2.20. Trialled prior to this and looks set for another bold first-up showing.

Most recently 7th of 11 at Riccarton Park in the LR Steward's Stakes on November 15 over 1200m, in the wet; 6 len behind Inflamed carrying 53kg at $13.50. Before that 5th of 9 at Riccarton Park in the LR Pegasus Hcp on November 8 over 1000m, 5 len behind Platinum Attack carrying 53kg at $12.90. Better than that last run suggests.

Second run back. First-up after seven months 8th of 13 at Tauranga on November 15 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Charmrose with 59kg at $8.60. Previously second-up 4th of 14 at Ellerslie Mdn-Sw on December 12 over 1200m, slow going 2.75 len behind Miss Madridista carrying 58.5kg at $8. Looks tested against this line-up.

Finished off last preparation eighth of 16 at Riccarton Park in the LR Warstep Stakes April 26 over 2000m, on heavy track; 9 len behind Loose Sally with 56.5kg at $4.80. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.0 len Riccarton Park March 5 over 1200m in the wet defeating Avitus with 58.5kg at $1.80. Expecting her to hit the ground running this campaign.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming 2nd of 11 at Tauranga on November 1 over 1200m, slow going long-neck behind Kitty Flash with 58kg at $5. Second-up raced on the pace before fading 12th of 14 at Pukekohe on November 22 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Moxie with 59kg at $4.10. Rates highly and open to further improvement.

Racing well recently. At the latest run sat on the pace when 2nd of 12 at Ellerslie on November 29 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Sweynesday with 56kg at $7.20. Before that 3rd of 11 at Tauranga on November 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Kitty Flash with 55.5kg at $4.20. Sound top-three prospects again.

Second-up. First-up after seven months won by 1.5 len at Tauranga November 15 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Bellarista with 59kg at $8.90. Previously second-up 4th of 7 at Matamata on March 23 over 1400m, 4 len behind Romilly carrying 60kg at $4.80. Further improvement to come and is worth including.

Second run back. First-up after five months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 12 at Ellerslie on November 29 over 1100m, slow going 3 len behind Sweynesday carrying 56.5kg at $43.40. Previously second-up second last of 12 at this track on April 26 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Queen Zou with 58.5kg at $11.30. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Most recently won by 3.5 len at Wanganui November 22 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Fancypants carrying 56.5kg at $3.20. The run before that 7th of 11 at Trentham on October 26 over 1000m, slow going 5.5 len behind Kosta with 59kg at $3.10. Shapes up nicely.

Second run back. First-up after seven months 7th of 13 at Tauranga on November 15 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Charmrose carrying 56kg at $12.60. Previously second-up won by 3.5 len at Te Aroha October 30 2024 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Dramatic Miss carrying 55.5kg at $4.30. Looks up against it here and prefer others.

Third-up today. First-up won by a head at this track September 27 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Oppenheimer with 57.5kg at $14.60. Second-up second last of 13 at Tauranga on November 15 over 1200m, slow going 9 len behind Charmrose with 55kg at $10. Will need to do more.

Second-up. First-up after five months 8th of 12 at Ellerslie on November 29 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Sweynesday carrying 57.5kg at $13.30. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at Ruakaka on July 12 over 1200m, in the wet; 1.3 len behind Reptak with 57.5kg at $2.40. Has won second up before but still hard to get enthused.

Last start 4th of 14 at Pukekohe on November 22 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Moxie with 56.5kg at $18.10. The run before that won by 1.5 len at Ellerslie November 4 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Berenhard with 59kg at $18.90. This looks too tough.

Third-up today. Not raced for 42 days. Resuming raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Te Aroha on October 22 over 1150m, slow going 0.8 len behind Nepheti carrying 57kg at $11.20. Second-up 8th of 10 at Tauranga on November 1 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Bak Da Angel with 55.5kg at $4.80. Hard to see her winning this with form like that.

She is resuming after a six months break. Finished off last preparation sixth of 12 at Ellerslie June 7 over 1400m, soft track; 7 len behind Moxie carrying 55kg at $3.50. On debut third of 11 at Taupo October 11 2024 over 1100m, in the wet; 2.5 len behind Hitabell with 55.5kg at $15.50. Prefer to see how she returns.

Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last start 7th of 14 at Ellerslie on November 4 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4 len behind She's A Dealer carrying 57kg at $11.30. The race before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 16 at Ellerslie on October 25 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Hinekaha carrying 57kg at $13.10. Needs to improve sharply.
