Previously first up; second of 7 at Gosford Super Mdn-Sw April 9 over 1100m, a long neck behind Revolutionary Star with 58.5kg at $3. This is an ideal race to kick off.

G A & D G Rogerson & Clint Isdale trained four-year-old mare lining up for first race start. Scored in a recent Avondale trial. Wide barrier will make her chances harder. Worth watching despite an awkward draw.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign eighth of 11 at Tauherenikau Mdn-Sw December 10 over 1600m, 9 len behind Unusual Invader with 56.5kg at $58.60. When resuming last campaign ninth of 12 at Waverley September 28 2025 over 1400m, soft track; 7 len behind Vigor Happiness with 54.5kg at $18.50. Anticipating her to hit the ground running this campaign.

At debut, 10th of 12 at Taupo on October 9 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Petite Rocher with 57.5kg at $16.20. Doubt she will trouble these.

At debut, 11th of 13 at Tauranga on October 14 over 1200m, slow going 15 len behind Saja carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. Plenty of scope for improvement.

Filly by El Roca facing the starter for the first time. Recent trial form has been pretty solid. Won a Te Awamutu trial over 850m on October 22. Leading chance.

First starter by Super Seth - Loveable (NZD $ 120,000 (NZB 2026 Karaka - Book 1) purchase). Hasn't set the track alight with her trials leading into today's race. May pay to keep an eye on betting moves.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old filly (Proisir - O'maille) will no doubt benefit from the four trials leading in today's debut. Sixth over 850m in a Te Awamutu trial on October 22. Facing a stiff test.

Five-year-old gelding (Ocean Park - Chico) will no doubt benefit from the seven trials prior to his debut today. Was second in a Te Awamutu trial over 850m October 22. Looks tested in this line-up.

Gelding by The Bold One facing the starter for the first time. Runner-up in an Avondale trial over 800m on October 29. Tough assignment.

First starter by El Roca out of Don't Dilly Dally. Has a total of six trials leading in today's debut. Facing a stiff test.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when 9th of 12 at Ellerslie on May 16 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Armagh with 56.5kg at $27. Prefer to see how she returns.
