First up last campaign 11th of 14 at Sha Tin Rating 60 September 22 2024 over 1000m, 7 len behind Cheval Valiant with 56kg at $126. Finds a nice assignment to open the campaign.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old colt (Dirty Work - Cymbal) who was bought for AUD $ 35,000 (Inglis 2025 Classic Yearling Sale). He has three recent trials prior to his debut today. Ran 3rd in a trial at Cambridge Synthetic over 950m on September 29. Worth considering.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last campaign third of 10 at Ruakaka July 11 over 1200m, soft track; 1.5 len behind Cowboy with 56.5kg at $7.50. On debut ran last of 12 at Ellerslie May 16 over 1200m, soft track; 12 len behind Armagh carrying 56.5kg at $34.80. Expecting her to hit the ground running this campaign.

Mare by Ferrando making her first appearance. Finished fourth in a Matamata trial over 800m on October 6. Unlikely to find enough improvement to trouble these.

Mare by Vadamos on debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Foxton on October 13 over 1000m. Worth including.

Facing the starter for the first time. Four-year-old mare by Tarzino out of Made The News. At the most recent trial finished fourth at Foxton over 1200m. Prefer to see on race day before forming an opinion.

Resuming after a five months break. Not seen since she finished last of 7 at Awapuni Synthetic May 31 over 1000m, 10 len behind Vanbrugh Belle carrying 55.5kg at $14.80. On debut 12th of 14 at Wanganui 2yo+ Mdn-Sw May 10 over 1200m, soft track; 10 len behind Roc All Night with 55kg at $88.50. Likely improver.

Dual acceptor. Jumped at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 12 at Te Aroha on October 21 over 1150m, on a slow track; 16 len behind O'valerie carrying 54kg at $60.90. Won't find this any easier so she looks safely held.
