On debut seventh of 11 at Tauranga December 12 over 1200m, soft track; 3 len behind Belle Noire with 57kg at $2.10. Everything points to a effective return.

Gelding back from a spell of 21 months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign 11th of 14 at Phar Lap Racecourse November 21 2024 over 1600m, soft track; 5 len behind Gatzby with 58.5kg at $37.60. When resuming last campaign second last of 16 at this track November 13 2024 over 1400m, 8 len behind Pericoloso carrying 58.5kg at $30.70. Will take a lot from this run but stays under notice.

On debut fifth of 10 at Tauranga 3yo Mdn-Sw January 2 over 1400m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Lunaman carrying 57.5kg at $5. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Expecting him to hit the ground running this campaign.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when ran last in a small field at this track on February 19 2025 over 1000m, slow going 23 len behind Best Rose carrying 57kg at $30.20. Worth another chance.

Last start ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Oamaru on August 14 over 1400m, in the wet; 2 len behind Big Exit with 56.5kg at $46.50. The start before that ran second last of 14 at Oamaru on July 19 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 25 len behind Honor The Name with 56.5kg at $56. Should hold the form and she appeals as a top 4 hope.

At the latest run 4th of 13 at Oamaru on August 14 over 1200m, in the wet; 3 len behind Hammer carrying 56.5kg at $47.70. The start before that 12th of 14 at Oamaru on July 19 over 1200m, on heavy track; 16 len behind Honor The Name carrying 56.5kg at $65.30. Great chance to figure in the top 3 if she begins with them.

Four-year-old mare (Savabeel - Residential) at the races for the first time. Has had no recent barrier trials. Expected to run well despite a tricky draw.

Three-year-old filly (Castelvecchio - Total Discretion). She has three recent trials prior to her debut today. Won her most recent trial at Phar Lap Racecourse over 1000m on August 11. Makes debut on home course and aided by a nice alley so worth watching for any market confidence.

First starter. Three-year-old filly by Satono Aladdin out of Elodina. At the most recent trial finished sixth on August 11 at Phar Lap Racecourse over 1000m. Pay to keep an eye on betting moves.
