Rangiora June 10, Commitment: Rounded up his rivals easily in a 1000m heat, which should have sharpened him for a return to racing. Already placed in three of four raceday starts, won’t be a maiden much longer.

Avondale June 15, Dream Queen: Showed plenty in summer with a debut win and second to Karaka Million winner On The Bubbles. Looked the part outclassing her rivals over 800m and will be primed for her raceday return.
