Races ORX Tauherenikau - NZ

Two-year-old gelding (Savabeel - Honor). Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson has him primed for this with three recent trials prior to his debut today. Won his most recent trial at Pukekohe over 800m on January 20. Has a low draw and expected to run well.

At debut, second last of 7 at Trentham in the LR Wellesley Stks on January 3 over 1100m, slow going 5 len behind Lassified carrying 57kg at $8.30. Was runner-up in a trial at Foxton on January 13 over 850m. Can do better. No surprise to see him in the finish.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, set the pace for much of the race in a small field at this track on January 2 over 1000m, slow going long-neck behind Magill with 54.5kg at $4. Second-up in a small field at New Plymouth Raceway on January 24 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind King Of The Air carrying 54.5kg at $5.30. Has improvement to come and is likely to run well again.

Stephen Marsh trained two-year-old filly lining up for first race start. Won a recent Pukekohe trial. Good draw will assist chances. Shapes as a leading prospect.

Two-year-old filly (Satono Aladdin - Myminkcoat). She has three recent trials prior to her debut today. Ran 3rd in a trial at Foxton over 1000m on January 13. Worth considering.

First-starter by Derryn out of Amorata. Must be kept safe.

First-starter by Noverre out of Platinum Command. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Pay to keep an eye on market moves.

First-starter by Armory out of Veronica Franco. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Likely to be better for this run.
