Jo Rathbone trained three-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Won a recent Foxton trial. Ready for a bright start.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old colt (Dirty Work - Cymbal) has trialled on three occasions leading into today's race. Was third in a Cambridge Synthetic trial over 950m on September 29. Wait and see what he can do.

Three-year-old gelding (Toronado - Amore) will no doubt benefit from the six trials prior to his debut today. Was second in a 900m barrier trial on October 15 at Taupo. Prefer to see.

At debut, 2nd of 12 at Matamata on October 3 over 1200m, slow going 1.2 len behind Pilates carrying 54kg at $7. Expect her to run well.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when ran second last in a small field at Wanganui on June 13 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Old Fashioned with 55kg at $14.80. Has claims if presented on song.

Three-year-old filly (Turn Me Loose - Double Expresso). She has three recent trials leading in today's debut. Ran 3rd in a trial at Foxton over 1000m on October 13. Can make an immediate impact despite a difficult draw.

Dual acceptor. Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 12 at Te Aroha on October 21 over 1150m, slow going 16 len behind O'valerie with 54kg at $60.90. Improver who can sneak into the finish.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 11th of 14 at Woodville on October 7 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Park In The Bar with 52.5kg at $36.90. Open to improvement and expected to feature.
