Second run from a spell 6th of 13 at Ellerslie on April 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Utopic Warrior with 56kg at $6. Best form stacks up nicely and deserves another chance.

Filly by Derryn on debut. Recent trial form has been pretty solid. Runner-up in a Foxton trial over 850m on April 14. Looks a capable type and will be competitive.

Filly by Super Seth on debut. Runner-up in a Foxton trial over 850m on April 14. Tough assignment.

First-starter by Nadeem out of Shinobi. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. The betting is the best pointer to her chances.
