Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after three months 6th of 13 at Ellerslie on April 27 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Durrani with 57.5kg at $5.90. Previously second-up 11th of 15 at Ellerslie on October 18 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Swiss Prince carrying 58.5kg at $25. Rates highly and should improve sharply.

Gelding by Reliable Man on debut. Has looked handy in two trials leading into this. Ran 3rd in a Pukekohe trial over 1300m on January 20. Prefer to see.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 7th of 9 at Wanganui on April 6 over 1340m, 7 len behind Scarlett Spell with 58kg at $7.70. Last start raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at Waipukurau on April 26 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 17 len behind Unusual Cortez with 56kg at $15.20. Improvement to come cannot be underestimated.

Racing second-up today. Last run sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 12 at Ellerslie on May 6 over 1400m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Curved Glory carrying 58.5kg at $23.60. At only start last preparation sat on the pace before fading to run last of 13 at Arawa Park on November 16 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Burnished with 58.5kg at $20.10. Expecting him to kick on with that first run out of the way.

Third-up today. First-up 5th of 12 at Waverley on April 10 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Bannen carrying 55kg at $10.20. Second run from a spell 2nd of 14 at Ellerslie on May 6 over 1500m, on a slow track; 0.2 len behind Hell Island carrying 56.5kg at $21.70. One of the better chances.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran last of 8 at Ellerslie on May 6 over 1400m, slow going 9 len behind Bonnie Gem carrying 56.5kg at $8.70. Previously second-up 7th of 12 at Te Aroha on November 26 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Shiniqua carrying 56kg at $5.20. Rates highly and is among the leading hopes.

Third-up today. Resuming 9th of 15 at Ellerslie on April 27 over 1400m, slow going 7 len behind Wee Nessy carrying 55.5kg at $9. Second-up 8th of 12 at Matamata on May 13 over 1600m, slow going 12 len behind Luvabeel carrying 57.5kg at $25.90. Rates highly. Well placed and can do much better.

Was at very long odds at debut, ran last of 13 at Ellerslie on April 27 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Durrani carrying 56kg at $76.20. Drawn wide and prepared to overlook.
