Races ORM New Plymouth - NZ

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation fifth of 8 at Otaki September 6 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 3.5 len behind Crouch with 55.5kg at $8.60. Previously first up; second of 9 at this track February 1 over 1400m, soft track; 1.0 len behind Talisker carrying 56kg at $16.60. Should run well.

At the latest run 9th of 12 at Ellerslie on January 1 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Sweynesday with 58kg at $30.10. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 6th of 16 at Te Rapa in the G3 J Swap Sprint (Johnstone Hcp) on December 13 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind First Five carrying 57.5kg at $92.20. Can improve and is worth thought.

Second-up. First-up after 11 months 3rd in a small field at Ellerslie on December 26 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Vegas Queen carrying 55kg at $4.20. Previously second-up won by a long-neck at this track November 22 2024 over 1400m in soft going defeating Sevenayes carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. Back in good shape and can measure up in this line up.

Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd in a small field at Wanganui on January 10 over 1340m, 0.2 len behind Basel Warrior with 54.5kg at $3.50. Before that 5th of 12 at Trentham on December 14 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Reward Smile carrying 54kg at $15.70. Impressed last start. Honest galloper who must be respected.

Racing well recently. Last start 2nd in a small field at Wanganui on January 10 over 1340m, 0.0 len behind Basel Warrior carrying 54kg at $3. The run before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Te Rapa on December 20 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Basel Warrior with 56.5kg at $3.10. Will take plenty of beating.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 2nd of 11 at Trentham on December 14 over 1400m, nose behind Omega Boy carrying 57kg at $3.60. Last start 7th of 13 at Trentham in the G3 Anniversary Hcp on January 3 over 1600m, slow going 5 len behind Khanshe with 53kg at $2.20. Finds a nice race and is one of the major players.

Finished off last preparation fourth of 13 at Riccarton Park in the G3 Churchill (Coupland's Mile) Stakes November 12 over 1600m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Mystic Park carrying 53kg at $6. When resuming last campaign fourth of 9 at Te Rapa September 14 over 1200m, in the wet; 6 len behind Midnight Edition carrying 54kg at $6. Top hope.
