Races ORX New Plymouth - NZ

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up ran on from midfield and won by a head at this track November 5 over 1400m defeating Super Wraith carrying 56kg at $5.50. Second run from a spell 4th of 14 at Otaki on November 30 over 1400m, 3 len behind Renovations with 56kg at $10.10. Fitter and rates a key chance this line-up.

Recent form sound. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at this track December 4 over 1600m on a heavy track defeating Tiny Diamond carrying 56kg at $6.80. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Te Aroha on November 11 over 1600m, slow going 0.8 len behind Lachie carrying 57kg at $8.30. Draws well and another big run is in store.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 13 at Te Rapa on December 13 over 1500m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind She's A Dealer with 56.5kg at $36. The race before that eased back early on 8th of 14 at Pukekohe on November 8 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind I'm Lulu carrying 57kg at $18.70. Finds a nice race and has strong claims.

Second-up. First-up after five months won by a head at Pukekohe December 6 over 1500m on a soft track defeating Up The Anti with 59kg at $13.20. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Ellerslie 3yo SWP on April 5 over 1500m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Lord Penman with 57kg at $21.40. Back in good order and is a genuine hope.

Second run back. First-up after 10 months 5th of 7 at this track on December 4 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 3 len behind Fabulous Gal with 56.5kg at $8.90. Previously second-up 2nd of 8 at this track on November 6 2024 over 1600m, slow going 4 len behind Hi Yo Legacy carrying 58.5kg at $2. Is a definite threat in this line-up.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of eight months. Finished off last preparation fifth of 9 at Hawera May 6 over 2100m, soft track; 3 len behind Royal Flower carrying 54kg at $8.10. Previously first up; eighth of 11 at Trentham December 15 2024 over 1400m, 4 len behind Field Of Gold with 54kg at $35.40. Among the better chances.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign fifth of 9 at Awapuni Synthetic July 4 over 2140m, 5 len behind Final Chapter carrying 52.5kg at $15.40. When resuming last campaign eighth of 10 at Trentham January 4 over 1600m, soft track; 8 len behind Grahams Pride carrying 53.5kg at $35. Will take great benefit from this outing.

Last start second last of 8 at this track on December 4 over 1800m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind Overrated with 53kg at $48.50. Before that got back early 6th of 10 at this track on November 21 over 1800m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Ballistic Miss with 56.5kg at $23.50. Doubt he will threaten these.
