Resumes from a spell after only one run when 2nd of 7 at Otaki on February 21 over 1200m, slow going 0.4 len behind Sierra Leone with 57kg at $3.60. Looks sure to return in top order.

Second-up. First-up after four months set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 7 at this track on April 18 over 1360m, on rain affected going; 2.25 len behind Puddle Of Mudd carrying 58.5kg at $7.70. Previously second-up 7th of 12 at Trentham on December 6 over 1300m, slow going 4.5 len behind Thorax carrying 57kg at $64.20. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.

Hamish Auret trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Showing plenty of ability at the trials. Trained on the course and should be primed for a big debut.

Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos trained four-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Scored in a recent Hastings trial. Ready for a bright start.

At debut, 5th of 8 at Matamata on April 15 over 1200m, in the wet; 17 len behind Stay Frosty with 58kg at $9.80. Promising type who is open to improvement.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign sixth of 14 at Taupo October 10 over 1300m, soft track; 6 len behind Aksil carrying 58.5kg at $18.30. On debut sixth of 9 at Matamata September 12 over 1200m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Litteral carrying 58.5kg at $9. Can improve so not to be underestimated.

Four-year-old gelding by Vespa out of Moons Of Jupiter who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Has had no recent barrier trials. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

Resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation third of 12 at Otaki November 30 over 1200m, 2 len behind Hoorah Henry carrying 56.5kg at $28. On debut third of 14 at Woodville November 2 over 1200m, soft track; 4 len behind East End Lad with 56.5kg at $18.60. Capable of a bold return.

Third-up today. First-up 7th of 10 at Pukekohe on April 1 over 1200m, on a wet track; 4.5 len behind Deep Pursuit carrying 56.5kg at $20.50. Second run from a spell 7th of 11 at Ellerslie on April 27 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Sabatini carrying 55.5kg at $47.50. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.

Filly by Derryn on debut. Has looked handy in two trials leading into this. Was runner-up in a trial at Foxton on April 14 over 850m. Looks tested in this line-up.

Most recently ran last of 9 at Hawera on April 17 over 1200m, on heavy track; 10 len behind Dark Deluxe with 57kg at $9.80. The race before that second last in a small field at Tauherenikau on March 22 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Spark with 56kg at $16.40. Not on that form.

First-starter by Belardo out of Cherry Vain. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

At debut, 7th of 9 at Hawera on April 17 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Dark Deluxe carrying 57kg at $7.70. Can measure up this time.

Before that 4th of 8 at this track on April 6 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Flowers Ember with 56kg at $14.60. One of the leading chances.

Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after 13 months 6th of 11 at Ellerslie on April 27 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Sabatini with 56kg at $25.90.
