Resuming. Not seen since he finished last of 13 at Ellerslie September 6 over 1200m, soft track; 8 len behind Have A Crack carrying 57kg at $39.70. On debut second in a small field at Tauranga June 21 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 3.5 len behind Honey Badger with 56kg at $21.90. Expecting a strong run fresh.

Second-up. Comes off a 43-day let-up. First-up after five months 4th of 8 at Te Rapa on February 7 over 1200m, slow going 2.25 len behind Miss Jones carrying 57kg at $32.60. Previously second-up 2nd of 13 at Avondale on July 16 over 1200m, on a wet track; 0.8 len behind Interlaken carrying 55.5kg at $21.80. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Comes off a 51 day let-up. Last start 8th of 14 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1600m, slow going 3.5 len behind Volunteer with 58.5kg at $20.60. The start before that 10th of 14 at Ellerslie on January 11 over 1400m, 4 len behind Atkins carrying 58.5kg at $24. Unlikely to threaten.

Second run back. First-up after five months second last of 11 at Te Aroha on March 6 over 1150m, slow going 9 len behind Arwen with 58.5kg at $43. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Te Aroha on September 21 over 1600m, on heavy track; 3.5 len behind Giveusawink with 68kg at $14.70. Can't entertain until he offers something more.

Resuming after a break; only one run when second last of 8 at Otaki on January 9 over 1200m, 6 len behind Fawnzor carrying 56.5kg at $16.80. Likely improver.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 12 at this track on February 28 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Silent Spy with 58kg at $6.50. The race before that 3rd of 9 at Te Aroha on February 11 over 1400m, slow going 1.5 len behind Shining Pearl carrying 58kg at $2.30. Rates highly. One of the chief contenders.

Stephen Autridge trained three-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Won a recent trial at Ellerslie. A betting push will add to the confidence.

First starter by Wrote - Jet Charged. Has run a number of unimpressive trials prior to his debut today. Likely to need this run.

Three-year-old gelding (Satono Aladdin - Hui Hai Stars). He has three recent trials leading in today's debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Avondale on February 17 over 1000m. Worth watching despite an awkward draw.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Ardrossan out of Kissmekate. Was second in a Ellerslie trial over 1100m March 10. Has the pedigree so could measure up without surprising.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Darci Brahma out of She's Divine. Was third in a Tauranga barrier trial over 1200m on February 24. Has a low draw and can make an immediate impact.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd of 14 at Pukekohe on February 25 over 1400m, slow going 0.9 len behind La Diem with 55.5kg at $15.40. Before that 2nd of 14 at Te Rapa on January 30 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Super Legocy carrying 54.5kg at $8.10. Expected to feature.

On debut fourth of 10 at Ellerslie December 11 over 1400m, soft track; 4 len behind Fleeting Star with 56kg at $6.10. Everything points to a bright return.

Filly by Savabeel making her first appearance. Won trial at Taupo over 1100m on March 3. Promising type who looks a top chance at first outing.

At debut, got back early 8th of 11 at Te Aroha on March 6 over 1150m, slow going 5.5 len behind Arwen carrying 56.5kg at $8.20. Will take a lot from that hitout and shapes as one to consider.

At debut, second last of 12 at Pukekohe on February 25 over 1200m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Le Jacques Cartier carrying 57.5kg at $16.90. Drawn awkwardly today and won't be bothering these.

Dual acceptor. Most recently 10th of 12 at Pukekohe on February 25 over 1600m, slow going 6 len behind Flashback with 56kg at $7.20. Before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Te Aroha on February 11 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.2 len behind Wind Seeker carrying 55.5kg at $3.70. Has the ability and looks one of the chances.

On debut third of 13 at Te Aroha October 22 over 1400m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Billy Blinx with 54kg at $8.40. Progressive and expected to measure up.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old filly (Embellish - Seduced). Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson has her primed for this with five recent trials prior to her debut today. Finished fourth in a Ellerslie trial over 1100m on March 10. Worth watching for any market moves.

Dual acceptor. At debut, 5th of 12 at this track on February 28 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Silent Spy with 56kg at $6.10. Promising type who is open to improvement.
