Races ORX New Plymouth - NZ

Recent form sound. Last start came from midfield and won by a nose at Matamata December 19 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Knights Realm with 58kg at $7.60. Facing a 2.0kg hike in the weights from the last start but still makes plenty of appeal.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign eighth of 15 at Te Rapa Rating 75 September 27 over 2100m, in the wet; 7 len behind Notabadspillane with 60kg at $7. Expecting him to hit the ground running this campaign.

Most recently failed to make an impression; ran last of 11 at Te Rapa on December 20 over 2100m, slow going 14 len behind Roctave with 55kg at $21.80. Don't dismiss.

Comes off a 40 day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 8 at this track on November 21 over 1600m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Tiny Diamond carrying 57.5kg at $33.20. Requires significant improvement.

Most recently raced on the pace before fading second last of 11 at Te Rapa on December 20 over 2100m, slow going 11 len behind Roctave carrying 57kg at $16.10. Before that won by 3 len at this track December 4 over 1800m in heavy going defeating Sir Bruce carrying 58kg at $8.50. Cannot be underestimated.

Second run back. First-up after nine months made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Otaki on December 19 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Rev It Up Rusty with 58kg at $18. Previously second-up 2nd of 12 at Trentham on December 15 2024 over 1600m, 1.3 len behind Am I Blue carrying 51.5kg at $20.40. Fitter and worth following up.

Dual acceptor. Most recently raced on the pace before fading to run last of 14 at Otaki on December 19 over 1600m, slow going 10 len behind Rev It Up Rusty with 58kg at $15.10. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on December 4 over 1800m, on heavy track; 5 len behind Overrated carrying 54.5kg at $24.40. Rates highly on best efforts and is worth including.

Second run back. Comes off a 39-day let-up. First-up after seven months didn't do much in the run home; 9th of 14 at Wanganui on November 22 over 1600m, slow going 8 len behind Blue Jeanie with 53.5kg at $62. Previously second-up won by a long-neck at Otaki December 19 2024 over 1600m defeating Knickerless carrying 57kg at $13. Looks tested again.
