Races ORX Te Rapa - NZ

Most recently second last of 10 at Tauranga on January 8 over 1200m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Bellarista carrying 59kg at $14.70. The run before that won by 2 len at Trentham December 14 over 1200m defeating Leica Ripa carrying 58.5kg at $5.60. Capable of a big run.

Second run back. First-up after three months 2nd of 13 at Ellerslie on January 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Drops Of God with 57.5kg at $6.80. Previously second-up 2nd of 14 at Ellerslie on October 18 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Charmrose with 57kg at $5.30. Genuine galloper and is worth thought.

Third race start. Promising on debut as favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a long-neck at Taupo October 10 over 1100m on a soft track defeating Too Darn Sweet with 57.5kg at $3.70. Went for a break before returning 5th of 10 at Tauranga on January 8 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Bellarista with 57.5kg at $3.10. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Third race start. Promising on debut 2nd of 11 at this track on April 26 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Lubeck carrying 56kg at $5.50. Returned from break favourite; won by 1.3 len at Tauranga January 2 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Flashback carrying 57kg at $2.10. Strips fitter and should be right in the mix.

Second-up. First-up after three months favourite; won by a 0.1 len at Ruakaka January 6 over 1200m in soft going defeating Boomstruck with 57kg at $3.10. Previously second-up 6th of 10 at Taupo on October 10 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind General Menari with 57.5kg at $5.70. Still has scope for improvement and will be tough to beat.

Having second run back today. Last outing raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at New Plymouth Raceway on December 27 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Beauesk with 57.5kg at $2.60. At only start last preparation second last of 10 at Ellerslie on May 7 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Pokuru Gold with 54kg at $4.60. Strips fitter and expected to figure prominently.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start second last of 13 at Ellerslie on January 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Drops Of God with 58kg at $29.70. Before that ran last of 14 at this track on December 13 over 1200m, slow going 31 len behind Britannia Gold with 54.5kg at $22.50. Likely to find this out of reach.

Most recently 3rd of 10 at Tauranga on January 8 over 1200m, slow going 2 len behind Bellarista carrying 55kg at $16.60. The race before that 6th of 8 at this track on December 13 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind To Bravery Born carrying 54kg at $19.10. Has ability but needs to lift.

Filly returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign seventh of 10 at Ellerslie in the G3 Gold Trail Stakes September 6 over 1200m, soft track; 6 len behind Lollapalooza carrying 56.5kg at $12.70. When resuming last campaign second last of 9 at Taupo August 17 over 1100m, in the wet; 11 len behind In Haste carrying 56.5kg at $6.70. Looks all set for a effective return.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign second last of 11 at this track in the G2 Hawke's Bay Guineas September 27 over 1400m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Magic Carpet with 55kg at $19.40. When resuming last campaign ninth of 13 at Ellerslie in the LR Colin Meads Trophy September 6 over 1200m, soft track; 6 len behind Affirmative Action with 55kg at $15.80. Might be better off following this run.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 7 at Wanganui on January 10 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Queen's Evidence carrying 52kg at $8.30. Before that 3rd of 7 at Arawa Park on December 27 over 1215m, slow going 2.25 len behind Lady Impending carrying 53kg at $7.80. Has been racing well. Will be at her peak and appeals as one of the leading chances.
