Races ORX Ellerslie - NZ

Second run back. First-up after nine months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at this track November 29 over 1300m on a soft track defeating First Five carrying 54kg at $8.40. Previously second-up 2nd of 13 at this track in the G3 Almanzor Trpy on January 25 over 1200m, slow going 1.0 len behind Ardalio carrying 55kg at $21.30. Clearly the one to beat again. In the money when second up in the past and can add to that record today.

At the latest run raced on the pace before fading 10th of 16 at Te Rapa in the G3 J Swap Sprint (Johnstone Hcp) on December 13 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind First Five carrying 53kg at $33.30. The race before that 6th of 12 at Pukekohe in the G3 Counties Bowl Hcp on November 22 over 1100m, slow going 3 len behind Ardalio carrying 53kg at $10. Has ability and can do much better.

Most recently raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 16 at Te Rapa in the G3 J Swap Sprint (Johnstone Hcp) on December 13 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind First Five with 54kg at $48.60. The run before that raced on the pace before fading 11th of 14 at Riccarton Park in the G3 Canterbury Breeders Stakes on November 8 over 1400m, 5 len behind Captured By Love with 55kg at $4.80. Finds a suitable race and should be prominent.

Resuming today after a break of ten months. Finished off last preparation fifth of 11 at Matamata in the LR Kaimai Stks February 15 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind What You Wish For carrying 53kg at $3.40. First up last campaign seventh of 11 at Hawera October 5 2024 over 1400m, 4 len behind Belles Beau with 56.5kg at $2.70. Anticipating a bright start to this prep.

At the latest run second last of 16 at Te Rapa in the G3 J Swap Sprint (Johnstone Hcp) on December 13 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind First Five carrying 53kg at $27.90. The start before that 3rd of 9 at this track on November 29 over 1300m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Vegas Queen with 54kg at $3.50. Well-placed and is worth considering.

Most recently 14th of 16 at Te Rapa in the G3 J Swap Sprint (Johnstone Hcp) on December 13 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind First Five carrying 53kg at $48.20. Before that 4th of 7 at Pukekohe in the G3 Concorde Hcp on December 6 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.9 len behind Midnight Edition carrying 53kg at $20. Rates highly and is worth another chance.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 2nd of 14 at this track on October 25 over 1200m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Power Of Three carrying 58kg at $13.60. Last start won by a head at Pukekohe November 22 over 1400m in soft going defeating Moschino with 58kg at $10.30. In the mix once again.
