Races ORP Taupo - NZ

Second run back. First-up after a year won by 1.0 len at Tauranga December 12 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Permissive with 52kg at $9.20. Previously second-up 6th of 12 at Happy Valley on October 9 2024 over 1200m, 5 len behind Aurora Lady with 57.5kg at $15. Shapes as a leading chance again.

Second-up. First-up after six months 4th of 8 at New Plymouth Raceway on December 4 over 1200m, in the wet; 2 len behind See You In Beijing carrying 57.5kg at $12. Previously second-up 2nd of 10 at Arawa Park on December 4 2024 over 1230m, 0.8 len behind Cheaha with 58.5kg at $7.10. Likely to hold the good form and play a major role again.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when ran on from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Pukekohe on November 7 2024 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Gameplay with 58.5kg at $14.10. Expecting a strong run fresh.

Second run back. First-up after about 18 months 7th of 9 at Matamata on December 19 over 1200m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Our Lurrina carrying 57.5kg at $50.60. Previously second-up 6th of 9 at Cambridge Synthetic 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 10 2024 over 970m, 3.5 len behind Sister Ping carrying 58.5kg at $19.20. Not a realistic chance.

Returns from a 53-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 11 at New Plymouth Raceway on November 5 over 1600m, 8 len behind Shamwari carrying 56.5kg at $38.80. The run before that didn't do much in the run home; second last of 8 at New Plymouth Raceway on October 24 over 2000m, in the wet; 20 len behind Takes Time with 58.5kg at $13.90. Sure to be prominent.

At debut, got back early 5th of 10 at Te Aroha on December 7 over 1400m, 2 len behind Oberon carrying 57.5kg at $14.50. Sure to be hard to beat.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, won by a nose at this track October 10 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Capote with 54kg at $26.90. Last start 8th of 12 at Tauranga in the G2 James and Annie Sarten Memorial Stakes on November 1 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Swiss Prince carrying 55kg at $26.80. Has ability and is worth another chance.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Trentham on December 6 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Our Sniper carrying 55kg at $22.10. The race before that won by a nose at New Plymouth Raceway November 21 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Sattriya carrying 56kg at $12.20. Drawn to advantage and looks a solid chance.

Most recently 10th of 12 at Trentham on December 6 over 1300m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Thorax carrying 53kg at $73. The race before that 6th of 10 at Waipukurau on November 16 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Leica Pearl with 54.5kg at $14.60. Unlikely to threaten.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign when last of 7 at Cambridge Synthetic September 10 over 1300m, 8 len behind Fairy Dream carrying 56.5kg at $25.40. Previously first up; sixth of 9 at Cambridge Synthetic July 10 over 1300m, 5.5 len behind The Exponent with 54kg at $64. Will take a lot from this hitout.

At debut, 2nd of 10 at Otaki on December 19 over 1200m, slow going 1.0 len behind Top Of The Pack with 55kg at $6.20. Improvement to come and looks hard to beat.

Most recently second last of 14 at Matamata on December 19 over 1600m, slow going 13 len behind Los Santos carrying 55.5kg at $41.90. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Arawa Park on December 5 over 1560m, slow going 3 len behind Orson Stone carrying 54kg at $57.40. Looking to others.
