New Plymouth Raceway Race 4

THE PRIMO BROADBAND GIDDY-UP GIGABIT GALLOP MAIDEN 3YO 1200

Prize Money: $16,818

THE MAILMAN (4) did nothing on debut as a juvenile, but that was on a heavy track. He has looked smart and forward in condition at a couple of tune-up trials. A wide gate is a query, but he is a lot stronger now, and should be among the hardest to beat fresh up in this. ERBYS DARCI (1) was not bad here over 1400m last time out, when finishing third behind a fairly handy type. He is bred to keep on improving with time, and his first win should not be too far away. BANQUELLA (8) won the latest of her 2 trials this season, and she will be ready to rumble on debut. LE SMOKE (11) makes his debut from the in-form Sam Mynott stable, and she was runner-up in a recent Avondale trial a week ago. She is sure to have plenty of market support. BRUTAL REALITY (9) needed the experience when making her debut, and she can improve sharply here. Include.

Third-up today. First-up 5th of 8 at Waverley on October 19 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Illustrious carrying 55.5kg at $19.20. Second run from a spell 3rd of 7 at this track on November 5 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Sweet Talkin Gal carrying 55.5kg at $25.10. Fitter now and making headway. Should come on at the third run back and is ready to play a major role.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when raced on the pace before fading second last of 13 at Matamata 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 17 over 1200m, on heavy track; 14 len behind Varjak carrying 57.5kg at $18.40. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Looks all set for a bright return.
