Third race start. Promising on debut as favourite; won by 0.9 len in the LR CJC Champagne Stakes at this track on May 2 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Cool As Bling carrying 57kg at $1.80. Returned from break 4th of 10 at this track on August 29 over 1000m, on heavy track; 4.5 len behind Outback Girl with 58kg at $2. Fitter and rates highly.

Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently favourite; won by a 0.4 len at Ruakaka on September 2 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Chicago Jack with 56.5kg at $3. Before that favourite; won by 2.75 len at Ruakaka on August 15 over 1200m in soft going defeating Miesha carrying 54kg at $5.20. Key runner and should be in the finish.

Second-up. First-up after four months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at this track on August 29 over 1000m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Outback Girl with 56kg at $9. Previously second-up won by 0.8 len in the LR Welcome Stakes at this track on April 11 over 1000m in soft going defeating Never Too Much carrying 55kg at $3.20. Rates a top 4 hope and expected to finish much closer.

Gelding by Proisir on debut. Won trial at Ashburton over 1000m on September 15. Expect a strong showing based on that trial form.

Third-up today. Resuming 9th of 14 in a 2yo Sw+P at Oamaru on July 19 over 1200m, on a wet track; 8 len behind Glamour Extreme carrying 56kg at $6.80. Second run from a spell ran last of 10 at this track on August 29 over 1000m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Outback Girl carrying 55kg at $59.10. Not much to like about her prospects.

Third-up today. First-up 6th of 10 at this track on August 29 over 1000m, in the wet; 6 len behind Outback Girl carrying 54kg at $11.70. Second-up ran last of 14 in the LR Canterbury Belle Stakes at this track on September 12 over 1200m, on heavy track; 20 len behind Sweetest Thing with 56.5kg at $59. Strips fitter and looks one of the better hopes in the race.

Three-year-old filly (Exceedance - Daldena). She has four recent trials prior to her debut today. Was runner-up in a trial at Ashburton on September 15 over 1000m. Watch for any market confidence.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old filly (Echoes Of Heaven - Rosa Stellata) has trialled on four occasions leading into today's race. Was third in an Ashburton trial over 1200m on September 15. Suggest monitoring the market.

At debut, 7th of 13 at this track on August 29 over 1200m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Recital carrying 54kg at $18.10. Don't think she will trouble this field.
