Resuming after a five months break. Not seen since he finished last of 9 at Te Rapa January 16 over 1600m, soft track; 40 len behind Arthur carrying 57.5kg at $23.70. On debut sixth of 11 at Arawa Park December 27 over 1400m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Open Country carrying 57.5kg at $6.30. Capable of a bold return.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old filly (Savabeel - Bewitching) will no doubt benefit from the five trials leading in today's debut. Sixth at Avondale in a 1000m trial on May 12. Watch for any market moves.

Resuming after a break; only one run when ran second last of 11 at this track on March 13 over 1200m, slow going 14 len behind Thumbelina carrying 57kg at $37.20. This looks too tough.
