Races ORX Pukekohe Park - NZ

Is first-up after a break of three months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign second of 12 at Te Aroha November 26 over 1400m, a nose behind Shiniqua with 57.5kg at $3.60. When resuming last campaign third of 13 at Te Aroha October 22 over 1150m, soft track; 2.75 len behind Waiata carrying 55.5kg at $3. Anticipating a bright start to this prep.

Racing well recently. Most recently came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Te Aroha on February 11 over 1400m, slow going 0.0 len behind Rock Ice with 54.5kg at $2.60. The start before that 2nd of 13 at this track on January 18 over 1300m, slow going 0.5 len behind Starlit Express with 53.5kg at $14.70. Shapes as a key runner.

At the latest run 2nd of 14 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Super Legocy carrying 54.5kg at $8.10. The start before that from last on the turn 8th of 11 at Tauranga on January 2 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Rising Wind with 56.5kg at $7. Can play a big role again.

Second run back. First-up after eight months came from midfield; 4th of 14 at Te Aroha on February 11 over 1150m, slow going 4 len behind Sister Cynane with 56.5kg at $40.70. Previously second-up 9th of 12 at Cambridge Synthetic on June 18 over 1300m, 10 len behind Cheap Sav carrying 52kg at $21.20. Strips fitter and is among the chances.

Most recently 6th of 14 at Te Aroha on February 11 over 1150m, slow going 4.5 len behind Sister Cynane with 56.5kg at $37.60. The race before that 5th of 11 at Tauranga on December 12 over 1200m, slow going 2 len behind Belle Noire with 53.5kg at $38.20. Should be at peak fitness now and is ready for another bold showing.

Third-up today. Resuming 4th of 8 at Te Rapa on January 16 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Glam Award carrying 55.5kg at $10.10. Last start 3rd of 9 at Tauranga on February 5 over 1200m, slow going 2.5 len behind O'sweet Darling with 55.5kg at $6.20. Key runner on recent form.

Third race start today. At debut, 5th of 14 at Ellerslie on January 11 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Atkins with 54.5kg at $18.30. Last start sat on the pace when 2nd of 14 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind Young Jackson carrying 55kg at $3.70. Coming along nicely and can go on with it.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd of 10 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1300m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Mosala carrying 55.5kg at $3.10. Expect her to run well.

At debut, 2nd in a small field at Te Aroha on January 3 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 2.25 len behind Glacial Storm carrying 56kg at $7.60. Should hold the form and she appeals as one of the hardest to beat.

Most recently 10th of 13 at Ellerslie on January 31 over 1600m, slow going 7 len behind Burnerphone with 55.5kg at $6.40. The race before that 2nd of 14 at Ellerslie on January 11 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Atkins carrying 54kg at $25.50. Can do better.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign fourth of 13 at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw November 8 over 1600m, 3 len behind Ariadne carrying 55.5kg at $8.20. On debut fourth of 14 at Taupo October 10 over 1300m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Virgo Viva carrying 54kg at $35.20. Capable of a bold return.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, got back early 8th of 14 at Tauranga on December 12 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Khaleesi with 55kg at $29.60. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 14 at Otaki on January 9 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Gossip with 55kg at $3.40. Only needs to raise the bar a little to open her account.

Most recently 7th of 13 at Ellerslie on January 31 over 1600m, slow going 6 len behind Burnerphone carrying 55.5kg at $10.80. The race before that 4th of 12 at Tauranga on January 8 over 1300m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Battle Tycoon with 55.5kg at $6. Sure to be thereabouts.

Filly by Proisir on debut. Finished fifth in a Ellerslie trial over 1100m on February 10. Worth watching for any market moves.

Filly by Vadamos making her first appearance. Was runner-up in a trial at Ellerslie on February 10 over 1100m. Facing a stiff test.

Three-year-old filly (Satono Aladdin - Vanilla Chinchilla) has trialled on four occasions leading into today's race. Fifth over 800m in a Ellerslie trial on February 10. Unlikely to find enough improvement to trouble these.

Second run back. First-up after about 18 months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Te Aroha on February 11 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Shining Pearl carrying 54.5kg at $54. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Taupo on September 20 2024 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Tristar with 55.5kg at $28.90. Unlikely to threaten.

Returns from a 50-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 10 at Ruakaka on January 6 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Andahar carrying 56.5kg at $72.90. Before that 8th of 10 at Avondale on November 6 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Oppenheimer carrying 53.5kg at $78.50. Struggling to make an impact lately and others appeal more.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today. Resuming 9th of 11 at Tauranga on January 2 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Panther carrying 55kg at $103.90. Second run from a spell second last of 9 at Otaki on February 8 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Under Orders with 55.5kg at $62.10. Needs to find a lot more to be competitive.
