When well supported at debut, 2nd of 11 at Ellerslie 2yo Mdn on November 28 over 1100m, head behind Millefiori carrying 57.5kg. Second-up began awkwardly; sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 13 at Ellerslie 2yo Swp on December 26 over 1100m, long-neck behind Palamos with 56kg. Needs this to get into Karaka Millions. Big chance.

Jumped well supported at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at New Plymouth Raceway 2yo Mdn on December 29 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind Western Springs carrying 57.5kg. Should improve on first race start performance. Awkward draw but still a threat.

Scratched.

Two-year-old colt by Epaulette out of Herman having his first start today. Twice trialled and won the latest of them. Tote will tell you.

At debut, second last of 11 (raced wide without cover; carried wide near 800m; inconvenienced near 100m) at Ellerslie 2yo Mdn on November 28 over 1100m, 8 len behind Millefiori with 54.5kg. Second-up eased back early on 5th of 8 at Te Rapa 2yo Swp on December 12 over 1200m, 10 len behind Sword Of State carrying 57kg. Ace gate helps but still looks tested.

Scratched.

Freshened since an encouraging debut won by a head Ellerslie 2yo Mdn November 28 over 1100m defeating Sneaky Shark with 55.5kg. Looking to ensure a Karaka Millions start. Drawn perfectly and she rates the top chance.

First race starter by Mongolian Khan out of Mabsam. This two-year-old filly was unplaced in a trial earlier this month. Dam has left three multiple winning foals with Ulusaba (5 wins) the most prolific.

Resuming sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 8 at Te Rapa 2yo Swp on December 12 over 1200m, 13 len behind Sword Of State carrying 55kg. Second-up ran last of 7 at New Plymouth Raceway 2yo Mdn on December 29 over 1100m, 11 len behind Western Springs carrying 55.5kg. Not liked.
