Anna Furlong trained two-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Scored in a recent Ashburton trial. Watch for a betting push.

Was well-supported at debut, 7th of 9 at Wingatui on June 28 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Woodlands carrying 54kg at $3.20. Solid top 4 contender.

First starter by Hello Youmzain out of Aurora Lights. Finished second in a trial at Ashburton July 2. Some relief with the 3kg claim for an apprentice. Pay to keep an eye on betting moves.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, won by a long-neck at Wingatui May 31 over 820m in heavy going defeating Four Some with 57kg at $1.90. Last start 4th of 9 at Riccarton Park on June 20 over 1000m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Swey Loch with 56kg at $3.40. Faded in the home run last start, but she can make amends here.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation fifth of 7 at Riccarton Park March 21 over 1000m, 4 len behind Hezzarocstar carrying 55kg at $13.40. On debut second in a small field at Riccarton Park October 25 over 800m, 1.0 len behind Out Of The Blue carrying 54kg at $12.40. Everything points to an effective return.

Was well in the market at debut, set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Wingatui on May 31 over 820m, on rain affected going; long-neck behind Doubtable with 57kg at $4.80. Shapes as a leading chance.

Third-up today. Resuming 3rd in a small field at Wingatui on May 31 over 820m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Doubtable carrying 55kg at $4.70. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Riccarton Park on June 20 over 1000m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Swey Loch carrying 55kg at $17.10. Strips fitter and looks one of the better hopes in the race.

Resuming. Only had one start last preparation eased back early on 5th of 7 at Wingatui on February 28 over 1100m, slow going 5 len behind Final Time carrying 55.5kg at $12.80. First up last campaign ran second last in a small field at Riccarton Park on September 27 over 800m, 4 len behind Out Of The Blue carrying 53.5kg at $11.80. Sure to be prominent.

At debut, 5th of 9 at Riccarton Park on June 20 over 1000m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Swey Loch with 53kg at $11. Is worth including in all combos.

At debut, got back early 6th of 9 at Riccarton Park on June 20 over 1000m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Swey Loch carrying 55kg at $14.50. Better for that experience and can measure up.

First-starter by Extreme Warrior out of Pure Glamour. The betting is the best pointer to her chances.

First-starter by Ocean Park out of Matuki. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Likely to be better for this experience.

First starter. Two-year-old filly by Ancient Spirit out of Rio Tennille. At the most recent trial finished fifth on December 9 at Phar Lap Racecourse over 800m. Prefer to see.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old filly by U S Navy Flag out of Vocalize. At the most recent trial finished sixth on September 16 at Ashburton over 800m. Facing a stiff test.

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran last of 9 at Riccarton Park on June 20 over 1000m, slow going 10 len behind Swey Loch with 56kg at $32.90. Jumps from out wide and likely to struggle.
