BREADWINNER (7) made the most of a good ride when scoring comfortably at Hawera 6 days ago. It is always a good sign when they back up 6 days later, and she can take the next step immediately. WHITE MASK (3) is very well placed in this due to the conditions of the race, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, her position at the weights looks even better. The hat-trick beckons. EAGLE ROCK (2) raced a touch on the flat side at Te Rapa last week, after being in very consistent form before that. She has the pole position, and if that is any advantage on the day, then she can make amends. ELOISE (5) was back in form when finishing runner-up on the Cambridge poly track 17 days ago over 2000m. She is likely to settle back, and if the gaps come at the right time, then she can figure in the top 4 again. VICKEZZLASTCALL (9) no go last start over a mile at Te Rapa. She was a narrow maiden winner at Tauranga before that, and is worth another chance in this. Each way value.

Having third race start. At long odds at debut, didn't finish the race at Woodville July 13 over 1600m. Last start came from midfield and won by a neck at Waverley July 25 over 1400m in the wet defeating Riomosa with 58.5kg at $61.70. Worth following up.
Most recently second last of 14 at Te Rapa on August 9 over 1600m, in the wet; 18 len behind Graces Gift carrying 59kg at $11. Before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at Te Rapa on July 26 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Ortega with 57kg at $5.70. Prepared to overlook that last run; expecting sharp improvement.
Third-up today. First-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at Pukekohe June 25 over 1600m on a heavy track defeating Taco with 52.5kg at $9.40. Second-up came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Avondale July 16 over 1600m in heavy going defeating The Trendsetter carrying 56.5kg at $11.80. Racing well. Winning chance again.

Comments
Most recently second last of 9 at Hawera on August 10 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 12 len behind Shawshank carrying 57.5kg at $4.80. The race before that favourite; won by 1.75 len at this track July 19 over 1800m on a heavy track defeating Marriage Vows with 55kg at $11.80. Expect a bold showing.
At the latest run 9th of 14 at Te Rapa on July 26 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Elle McFab carrying 57kg at $12.20. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by a head at Tauranga July 6 over 1400m in the wet defeating Gracetheace carrying 56.5kg at $4.60. Better than the last run suggests and can do better.
