Races ORX New Plymouth - NZ

Four-year-old gelding (Wyndspelle - Spanish Fling) at the races for the first time. Has had no recent barrier trials. Market the best guide to his chances.

First starter by Wyndspelle out of Ballroom. Ran second in Foxton trial over 1000m December 16. No surprise to see him in the finish.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last preparation second of 10 at Hawera March 26 over 1400m, soft track; 0.8 len behind Elle Sourit with 56.5kg at $4. On debut second of 9 at Waverley January 29 over 1200m, 2 len behind Dramatic Miss carrying 56.5kg at $36.90. Not without claims.

Third-up today. Not raced for 50 days. First-up 5th of 11 at Waverley on October 19 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Casino carrying 56.5kg at $15.50. Second run from a spell tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 13 at Te Aroha on November 11 over 1150m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind The Perfect One with 56.5kg at $8.80. Well placed. Winning chance.

At debut, 3rd of 8 at this track on December 4 over 1200m, on heavy track; 0.9 len behind See You In Beijing carrying 53.5kg at $6.70. Plenty of improvement to come and is among the leading contenders.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign sixth of 12 at Waverley September 28 over 1200m, soft track; 3 len behind Shameless Star carrying 56.5kg at $18.40. On debut second last of 9 at Awapuni Synthetic June 22 over 1000m, 6 len behind Bodacious Kate carrying 54kg at $9.80. Certainly one to consider.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last campaign sixth of 9 at Hawera March 26 over 1200m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Tullamore Dew carrying 56kg at $8.90. On debut third of 8 at Wanganui February 21 over 1200m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Colour Chart carrying 55.5kg at $10.50. A bold run while fresh is on the cards.

Cydne Evans trained four-year-old mare lining up for debut. Recent trial winner at Foxton. Watch for any market moves.

Resuming after a break; only one run when in a small field at Hawera on October 4 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind War Princess carrying 51kg at $7.50. Can play a major role.

Three-year-old filly making debut by The Bold One out of Burlone. Won a barrier trial at Foxton over 1000m December 16. Big chance to make an immediate impact.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by El Roca out of Kayture. At the most recent trial finished seventh at Pukekohe over 1100m. Profiles well and a bold run is expected.

Three-year-old filly (Almanzor - Bavella) who was bought for NZD $ 400,000 (NZB 2024 Karaka - Book 1). Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson has her ready for this with seven recent trials prior to her debut today. Runner-up in a Taupo trial over 900m on November 25. Winning chance on debut.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Hello Youmzain out of Medal O'rose. Won a trial at Awapuni over 1000m October 6. Looks a capable type and will be competitive.

Gelding by Derryn making his first appearance. Won a Foxton trial over 1000m on May 27. Any market support will add to the confidence.

Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after four months didn't finish the race at this track December 27 over 1400m. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at Hawera on August 10 over 1400m, in the wet; 7 len behind Humza Bey carrying 56.5kg at $11.70. Not keen on her chances.

Dual acceptor. Was well in the market at debut, 7th of 10 at this track on November 21 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Laura's Legacy with 55.5kg at $4.20. Prefer to see her find some form before recommending.
