Racing well recently. Most recently came from midfield; 3rd of 13 at Hawera on March 25 over 1600m, 6 len behind Kingsbrook Diva carrying 58.5kg at $9.30. Before that 2nd of 11 at Wanganui on March 14 over 1340m, slow going 0.5 len behind Lucky Penny with 56.5kg at $28.60. Should be at his top now and is capable of taking this out.

Last start 9th of 16 at Ellerslie on April 4 over 1600m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Solid Gold carrying 58.5kg at $40.60. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Pukekohe on March 13 over 1600m, slow going 2.25 len behind Written In Heaven carrying 58.5kg at $19.80. Watch for sharp improvement.

Sue Thompson & Mick Brown trained four-year-old entire lining up for first race start. Looked good in a recent trial win. Good draw will assist chances. Expected to be in the finish.

First starter by Wrote out of Impact. Has a total of four trials leading in today's debut. Worth consideration.

Four-year-old gelding by Nadeem out of Ruby Love having his first start. Not seen publicly in trials. Profiles nicely and is worth keeping safe.

Second-up. First-up after three months 6th of 8 at Hawera on March 25 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Marie Antoinette with 58.5kg at $24.30. Previously second-up 7th of 14 at Trentham on December 14 over 1400m, 2 len behind Right Of Appeal with 58.5kg at $58.10. Will need this run.

At debut, 5th of 12 at this track on March 18 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Sant Maurici with 58kg at $19.40. Likely to hold the good form and play a major role again.

On debut. Three-year-old gelding by Time Test out of Larima. At the most recent trial finished fourth at Foxton over 1000m. Prefer to see under race conditions.

Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Awapuni Synthetic on August 3 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Sunshine Ale with 54.5kg at $10.60. Rates highly and should improve.

On debut eighth of 10 at Ellerslie December 11 over 1400m, soft track; 8 len behind Fleeting Star with 57.5kg at $48.40. Prefer to see how she returns.

Six-year-old mare (Shocking - Loral Lady) has trialled on three occasions leading into today's race. Was second in a Foxton barrier trial over 1200m March 17. Happy to risk without a significant market move.
