Form hard to fault. At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at Trentham on January 17 over 1400m, slow going 1.4 len behind Hoorah Henry carrying 58.5kg at $9.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Tauranga January 2 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Sir You Can Dance carrying 58.5kg at $7.80. Definite top-three prospect.

Form hard to fault. Most recently scored a big 4 len win at Te Rapa January 30 over 1400m in soft going defeating Absolutelyfabulous carrying 58.5kg at $3.30. The race before that 3rd of 14 at Ellerslie on January 11 over 1400m, 2 len behind Atkins carrying 58.5kg at $20.20. Sure to measure up here.

At the latest run 7th of 17 at Ellerslie on January 31 over 1600m, slow going 2.75 len behind Aksil carrying 58.5kg at $102.10. The start before that won by a 0.1 len at Wanganui January 10 over 1340m defeating Petite Rocher carrying 57.5kg at $5.10. Can atone.

Second run back. First-up after four months 3rd of 10 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Roaring Bebe carrying 58.5kg at $10.60. Previously second-up 7th of 11 at Tauranga on October 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Paddy The Farmer carrying 58.5kg at $8.80. Has top 4 claims.

Most recently ran last of 14 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1400m, on a slow track; 45 len behind Super Legocy carrying 58.5kg at $182.80. The run before that 7th of 9 at Tauranga on January 8 over 1200m, slow going 10 len behind Sarti carrying 58.5kg at $130.10. Others preferred.

Four-year-old gelding (Mongolian Khan - Eden Valley) will no doubt benefit from the three trials leading in today's debut. Was second in a 1100m trial on January 13 at Tauranga. Trained on the course but others rate better and won't find this an easy assignment.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd of 9 at Waverley on January 28 over 1400m, slow going 0.6 len behind Flutterbelle carrying 58kg at $2.30. The run before that favourite; won by 1.75 len at Ellerslie January 11 over 1400m defeating Scarlett Spell with 56.5kg at $3.50. Leading player again.

At the latest run 5th of 10 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Eye Candy with 57.5kg at $37.70. The race before that won by a 0.3 len at Pukekohe January 18 over 1300m on a soft track defeating Miss Parker carrying 55.5kg at $26. Better than the last run suggests and deserves another chance.

At the latest run second last of 11 at Trentham on January 17 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Hoorah Henry carrying 56.5kg at $11.50. The run before that came from midfield and won by 2.25 len at Arawa Park December 27 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Djibouti carrying 54.5kg at $3.80. Has ability and is a top-three hope.

Was at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 10 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1300m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Mosala with 57.5kg at $62.60. Better for that run but others look better placed.

Claiming her maiden victory on debut; raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 3.5 len win at Wanganui January 19 over 1340m in soft going defeating Ivy Time with 52kg at $6.90. Should be in the finish again.

Third race start. First start 5th of 9 at Te Rapa on May 24 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Geneva with 55kg at $13.30. Returned from break won by a nose at this track December 19 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Atkins carrying 55kg at $4. Still has scope for improvement and is likely to feature.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run second last of 9 at Ellerslie on January 31 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Espadas with 55.5kg at $24.50. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.25 len at Te Aroha January 3 over 1100m on a heavy track defeating Vanitygirl with 56kg at $4.10. One of the better chances.
