On debut fourth of 7 at this track November 9 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind La Dorada carrying 57kg at $6.50. Debut here was sound. Not out of this fresh up. Trial second at the start of this month.

Two-year-old colt (Hello Youmzain - O'Naturelle) on debut. Has had three trials for a win and two thirds. The win came over a very good filly since. Dam has left Galleon (2 wins). Include everywhere.

At debut, 6th of 8 at Te Aroha on February 12 over 1150m, 7 len behind Lodi Dodi carrying 57.5kg at $9.50. Jumps from out wide. Many here look superior chances.

Two-year-old gelding (Contributer - Tiffany Gem) has trialled on three occasions leading into today's race. Was second in a 1100m barrier trial on April 1 at Ellerslie. Watch for any market moves.

At debut, 2nd of 7 at Tauranga on March 30 over 1100m, 1.3 len behind The Espy with 55.5kg at $11.50. Drawn out but still the one to beat. Bred to win multiple times.

At debut, 2nd of 9 at Pukekohe on March 21 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 2.5 len behind Little Black Dress with 54kg at $7.80. Wide draw. Trialled well twice prior. Bred to win more than once.

Finished off last campaign fifth of 7 at this track November 9 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind La Dorada with 55kg at $3.40. On debut second in a small field at Wanganui on September 21 over 800m, on heavy track; a nose behind Landlock carrying 55kg at $3.30. Trial winner earlier this month. Quinella and trifecta must in this.

At debut, raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Tauranga on March 30 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind The Espy with 55.5kg at $5.40. Drawn the ace again. Close trial fourth prior. Chance.

Two-year-old filly making debut by Banquo out of City Of Roses. Twice trialled and won at Ellerslie over 800m April 1. Drawn wide which doesn't help. Don't rule her out.

Two-year-old filly making debut by Complacent out of Shining Light. Purchased for NZD $700 (Gavelhouse 2023 Thoroughbred 3 April auction). Three times trialled and has won her last two. Well drawn so respect.

Filly by Hello Youmzain facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a trial at Ellerslie on April 1 over 1100m. Tough assignment.

At debut, sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 9 at Matamata on March 23 over 1050m, 11 len behind Lady Iris carrying 55.5kg at $17.10. Trial winner prior. Needs rain-affected footing.

Filly by Brave Smash facing the starter for the first time. Has been runner up in both of her trials. Dam has left two multiple race winning foals with Papavero Princess (5 wins) the most prolific. Drawn well.

Gelding by Belardo on debut. Has been three times trialled for two placings. Drawn wide here but he can cope.

Gelding by Darci Brahma on debut. Three times trialled for one second. Wide draw. Not out of this if he is run here.

Facing starter for first time. Two-year-old filly by U S Navy Flag out of Paris Rock. At her only trial was fourth over 1100m at Ellerslie on April 1. Dam has left Rose's Legacy (1 win). Not out of this.

On debut.

At debut, 7th of 9 at Pukekohe on March 21 over 1200m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Little Black Dress with 54kg at $20. A better draw helps her chances. Not the worst.

Jumped at long odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Te Aroha on February 12 over 1150m, 21 len behind Lodi Dodi with 57.5kg at $46.80. Drawn out once more. Not liked at all here.
