Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 14 at Tauranga on December 12 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Khaleesi carrying 57kg at $2.10. Sure to be tough to beat.

Most recently 6th of 9 at Tauranga on February 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5 len behind O'sweet Darling with 57.5kg at $3.60. The run before that 2nd of 11 at Ruakaka on January 6 over 1200m, slow going 0.1 len behind Zivou with 57kg at $4.20. Not a great draw again but should fare a lot better in this suitable contest.

Returns from a 61-day let-up. Most recently 8th of 11 at Ellerslie on December 26 over 2100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Reliable Squeeze with 55.5kg at $15.40.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd of 11 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Katamuku with 57.5kg at $2.80. Shows ability and expected to improve. Better for that run and can go on with it.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1300m, slow going 6 len behind Mosala with 57.5kg at $25.60. Better than the last run and worth another chance.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign sixth of 9 at Te Aroha October 22 over 1150m, soft track; 4 len behind Avantaggia with 57.5kg at $7.30. On debut fourth of 10 at Tauranga October 1 over 1200m, soft track; 2 len behind Rising Star with 57.5kg at $5.30. Expected to feature.

On debut third of 9 at Avondale October 8 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 2.5 len behind Princess Elsa with 56kg at $10.50. Prefer to see how he returns.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by King Of Comedy out of Swissilicious. Won a trial at Ellerslie over 1100m June 9. Capable of a solid performance.

Second-up. First-up after five months 2nd of 9 at Tauranga on February 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind O'sweet Darling with 55.5kg at $8.10. Previously second-up 8th of 12 at Taupo on September 17 over 1200m, slow going 9 len behind Scolera with 54kg at $11.70. Likely to hold the good form and she can figure in the top 3..

Is first-up after a break of four-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign ninth of 14 at Ellerslie October 18 over 1200m, 9 len behind Miss Fladgate carrying 54kg at $12.20. First up last campaign third of 11 at Ruakaka 3yo Mdn-Sw September 3 over 1200m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Transcend carrying 55.5kg at $4.20. Has claims if presented on song.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 14 at Wanganui on January 10 over 1340m, 0.1 len behind Think I Got Cha carrying 52kg at $4.80. Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 14 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Super Legocy with 55kg at $2.30. Can do much better and shapes as one of the top chances.

Second-up. First-up after five months 4th of 8 at Tauherenikau on February 6 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Arctic Jewel with 56kg at $4. Previously second-up 4th in a small field at Cambridge Synthetic on August 29 over 970m, 2 len behind Brazen Affair with 54kg at $6.90. Rates highly and can improve sharply.

At the latest run led to the turn then faded 7th of 10 at New Plymouth Raceway on February 13 over 1400m, on a wet track; 11 len behind Sattriya with 57kg at $12.30. The run before that did the work up front then tired 5th of 10 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1300m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Mosala with 52.5kg at $21.70. Will be harder to beat this time.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, second last of 9 at Tauranga on February 5 over 1200m, slow going 9 len behind O'sweet Darling carrying 57.5kg at $65.40. Needs to lift.

At debut, second last of 10 at Waverley on January 28 over 1200m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Mazino carrying 57.5kg at $8.50. Doubt he will trouble these.

Dual acceptor. Gelding by Proisir making his first appearance. Ran 3rd in a trial at Ellerslie over 1100m on February 10. Worth watching with the blinkers added.

First-up. Finished off last campaign seventh of 13 at Te Aroha November 26 over 1150m, 4 len behind Get Me An Angel with 55kg at $43.40. Previously first up; seventh of 9 at Matamata October 17 over 1200m, on heavy track; 9 len behind Halo's Fire carrying 55.5kg at $20.40. Might need the run.

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