Racing well recently. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1400m, slow going 1.1 len behind Eye Candy with 57kg at $14.40. The run before that won by a 0.5 len at this track January 18 over 1300m in soft going defeating Kind Of Blue carrying 54.5kg at $7.30. Well placed. Sure to feature.

Second run back. First-up after five months second last of 7 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Tale Of The Gypsy with 56kg at $5.80. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at Ellerslie in the G3 Gold Trail Stakes on September 6 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Lollapalooza with 56.5kg at $12.70. Plenty of improvement to come.

Recent form sound. At the latest run favourite; won by 3 len at Waverley January 28 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Hello My Dear with 54kg at $1.90. The race before that 3rd of 9 at Te Rapa on December 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Confesara carrying 56.5kg at $3.50. Certain to be hard to beat again.

At the latest run 6th of 10 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Eye Candy carrying 56.5kg at $4.30. Before that 7th of 11 at Trentham in the G3 Desert Gold Stakes on January 17 over 1600m, slow going 3.5 len behind Fairy Dream with 56.5kg at $11.10. Sure to be thereabouts.

Third-up today. Comes off a 39 day let-up. Resuming 3rd in a small field at Trentham on December 20 over 1200m, slow going 2.5 len behind Perfect Habit carrying 55kg at $11.60. Second-up faded in the straight ran last of 11 at Trentham in the G3 Desert Gold Stakes on January 17 over 1600m, slow going 33 len behind Fairy Dream with 57kg at $46.30. In the mix.

Stephen Marsh trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut. Scored in a recent Ellerslie trial. Worth considering.

Filly by Almanzor facing the starter for the first time. Finished sixth in a Ellerslie trial over 1100m on February 10. Did not show a great deal at the trials and prefer to see in a race before backing.

Filly by Pierro making her first appearance. Ran 3rd in a trial at Ellerslie over 1100m on February 10. Pay to keep an eye of the betting despite a tricky draw.

Dual acceptor. Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Zousain out of Thousand Dreams NZD $ 70,000 (NZB 2023 National Weanling & Broodmare Sale) purchase. At the most recent trial finished fifth at Pukekohe over 800m. Watch for any market moves.

First starter by Savabeel out of The Diamond One. Has a total of five trials leading in today's debut. Profiles well and a bold run is expected.
