Races ORX Awapuni - NZ

Second-up. First-up after four months favourite; won by 1.0 len at this track July 3 over 1200m defeating Bee Precious carrying 61kg at $2.40. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Taupo on December 28 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Nigella Lane with 54kg at $11.90. Hard to tip against him on that sort of form. Has won second up in the past and is capable of building on that record.

At the latest run 7th of 11 at Waverley on July 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Cremant with 58kg at $18.20. The run before that 3rd of 11 at this track on June 21 over 1300m, 5.5 len behind Kereti carrying 58kg at $8.70. Struggling to break through but expected to be in the finish.

Second run back. First-up after three months favourite; won by 2.75 len at this track July 3 over 1400m defeating Anaroa carrying 54kg at $2.90. Previously second-up 4th of 11 at Trentham on January 17 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Quello Dolce carrying 58.5kg at $10.20. Can go on with it. Improver who can measure up again.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 2nd of 7 at this track on May 31 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Vanbrugh Belle carrying 54.5kg at $3.20. Second run from a spell won by 0.5 len at this track June 21 over 1300m defeating Kodiac Bear with 54.5kg at $6.80. One of the top 4 chances.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd of 7 at this track on July 3 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Vittorio Veneto with 53kg at $10.40. The race before that 2nd of 7 at Wanganui on May 30 over 1340m, slow going 3 len behind Super Wraith carrying 56kg at $4.50. Worth plenty of thought.

Resuming after a break of ten months. Finished off last campaign seventh of 11 at Hawera October 4 over 2100m, on heavy track; 9 len behind Piper's Son carrying 59kg at $12.50. When resuming last campaign eighth of 12 at Trentham May 17 2025 over 1400m, soft track; 4.5 len behind French Doll with 52.5kg at $45.50. Hard to have at this early stage of the prep.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track on June 21 over 1000m, 1.1 len behind Karyon with 54kg at $3.50. The start before that 4th of 9 at this track on May 31 over 1000m, 1.0 len behind Bodacious Kate carrying 54.5kg at $3.40. Thereabouts last time out. Must be included.
