Race 7: Te Aroha - Saturday, January 4

Lived up to predictions winning two starts back but then disappointed, however with an excuse. Back on track and looks well placed to show something like his best.

Race 2: Trentham - Saturday, January 4

Has the pedigree of a stayer and the steady improvement she has shown in three starts to date suggests this 1600m on the roomy track will be just what she needs to post her first win.

Race 7: Greymouth - Sunday, January 5

Capped a solid run of form with first southern win three weeks ago. This is a big step up in grade but gets in well with the two-kilo claim.
