Second run back. First-up after four months ran last of 10 at Taupo on October 9 over 1100m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Imperial Rose carrying 57.5kg at $13.30. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Hawera on May 17 over 1200m, slow going 1.75 len behind Crosswell carrying 57.5kg at $9.20. No easier this time and looks tested again.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Toronado out of Ilalliqa. Won a barrier trial at Matamata over 1000m October 6. Promising type who looks sure to make a bright start to his career.

Robbie Patterson trained three-year-old colt lining up for debut. Recent trial winner at Foxton. Inside barrier will assist chances. Worth considering.

Second-up. First start 6th of 9 at Hawera on May 17 over 1200m, slow going 2.5 len behind Crosswell with 57.5kg at $4.20. Went for a break before returning tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Taupo on October 9 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Imperial Rose carrying 55.5kg at $8.50. Plenty of improvement to come.

Second-up. First start 7th of 9 at Hawera on May 17 over 1200m, slow going 5 len behind Crosswell with 57.5kg at $20.40. Went for a break before returning 8th of 14 at Hawera on October 3 over 1200m, in the wet; 6 len behind Diplomatic with 56kg at $115. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.

Gelding by Brazen Beau facing the starter for the first time. Ran 3rd in a Matamata trial over 1000m on October 6. Wait and see what he can do.

Dual acceptor. Resumes from a spell after only one run when 3rd of 8 in the LR Ryder Stakes at Otaki on July 30 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 0.4 len behind Back Of The Bus with 55kg at $17.30. Everything points to a effective return.

At only start last preparation faded in the straight 6th of 10 at Tauherenikau on March 5 over 1300m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind St Monica with 55.5kg at $4.70.

Filly by Grunt on debut. Finished fourth in a Foxton trial over 1000m on October 13. Looks tested in this line-up.
