Races ORX Te Rapa - NZ

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 41-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 13 at this track on December 20 over 1600m, slow going 0.8 len behind Rambling On carrying 57kg at $5. The run before that came from midfield and won by a long-neck at Te Aroha November 26 over 1400m defeating Horrie with 56.5kg at $4.20. In form and will be hard to beat.

Second-up. First-up after three months ran last of 9 at Tauranga on January 2 over 1200m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Takeshi with 53kg at $38.40. Previously second-up won by a long-neck at Cambridge Synthetic June 18 over 1300m defeating Oban with 53.5kg at $17.80. Can do much better this time with the run under her belt.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 8th of 10 at Te Aroha on December 7 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Larius Lacus with 58kg at $8.70. Second run from a spell 6th of 10 at Ruakaka on January 6 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Goldiluxe carrying 57kg at $15.50. Has ability and looks one of the chances.

Last start second last of 14 at Wanganui on January 10 over 1340m, 8 len behind Anushka Shesastar with 58kg at $3. Before that led but faded 3rd of 8 at Taupo on December 28 over 1300m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Hard Roca carrying 57kg at $3.70. Better than the last effort suggests and can bounce back.

Last start won by a 0.3 len at Pukekohe January 18 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Miss Parker carrying 55.5kg at $26. The start before that 11th of 13 at Arawa Park on December 27 over 1215m, slow going 5 len behind Sugar Schnapps with 56.5kg at $55.60. Can improve further and is worth following up.

Last start 6th of 13 at Trentham on January 3 over 1600m, slow going 3.5 len behind Bradley with 56.5kg at $6.50. The run before that won by 1.0 len at Arawa Park December 5 over 1560m on a soft track defeating La Danza with 54.5kg at $5.40. Should be at her top now and is expected to be in the finish.

Second run back. First-up after two months from last on the turn 4th of 7 at Pukekohe on January 18 over 1200m, slow going 1.2 len behind Saltnesse with 56.5kg at $5.70. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Waverley on October 19 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Aramaki carrying 56.5kg at $2.40. Rates highly and should be in the mix.

Last start 7th of 11 at this track on January 16 over 1600m, slow going 2.5 len behind Another Floozie with 55.5kg at $10.10. The run before that 11th of 15 at Ellerslie on December 26 over 1500m, slow going 5.5 len behind Rise Companions with 53kg at $92.20. Tested again.

Racing well recently. Most recently won by a 0.5 len at Pukekohe January 18 over 1300m on a soft track defeating Kind Of Blue with 54.5kg at $7.30. Before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Arawa Park on December 27 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Clear Conscience with 54.5kg at $3.90. Has upside and is a serious prospect in this line-up.

Third-up today. First-up 3rd in a small field at this track on December 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind One More Dance carrying 55.5kg at $14.30. Second run from a spell 3rd of 11 at Ellerslie on January 11 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind Moschino carrying 55.5kg at $17.60. In the mix.

The run before that 4th of 11 at Taupo on December 28 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Now Not Never carrying 55kg at $3.10. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.

Third-up today. Resuming 2nd of 8 at Te Aroha on January 3 over 1400m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind Small Town Girl carrying 58kg at $10. Second-up second last of 14 at Pukekohe on January 18 over 1400m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Awatere with 55.5kg at $58.50. Hard to have this tough line-up.
