Swissta will make his long awaited debut in the 2yo maiden 1200m at Ellerslie on Monday. He has drawn barrier 6 of 14 and will be ridden by Alysha Collett. He won his trial at Cambridge on a track with some give however he is unknown on the heavier slow 9 track currently on offer at Ellerslie. The weather forecast is good so we are hopeful the track will dry out somewhat by Monday.
We have had a string of placings this week with Biggin Hill & City Boy both finishing 3rd in their respective races at Ellerslie last Saturday, both runs being full of merit. City Boy fought on well carrying his 60kgs and will be improved from the outing, he will start next at Te Rapa next Saturday 11th over 1200m.
Biggin Hill ran his usual honest race and showed he is capable of running in any track conditions. He will head to Ruakaka on Saturday 18th again over 1200m.

 Son Taari |  Dark Secret |
Son Taari went a big race to finish 4th first up at Matamata on Wednesday, on a very deep and testing track. He appeared to relish the wet conditions and should pick up a win or two on the wet winter tracks. He may start next at Counties on Wednesday 22nd June over 1600m.
Dark Secret was sent out favourite at Matamata on his previous good run at Waipa, however he failed to handle the very heavy track and will now head to Ruakaka on the 18th in search of better conditions.
Top Prospect, Swiss Ace- Vibe and Savabeel – Shantaine were all good in their barrier practice this week and are due a gallop on Saturday. Cartell is finally over a foot issue and is also due some faster work tomorrow. Selfie has continued with conditioning work this week.

Our Ventura will start at Kembla Grange in NSW tomorrow over 1400m. The track is currently a soft 7 which should be to her liking. She has drawn barrier 4 and will be ridden by apprentice Blaike McDougall who claims 3kgs. Her trial and work leading into the race have been very good.

Hot Mustard enjoyed the slow track at Gosford finishing 2nd over 2100m yesterday. Ridden by Jason Collett, he jumped well and was given a good run midfield, he ran on down the outside in the straight picking up all but the winner being beaten just over a length at the finish.
Untamed Diamond has come through her race at Canterbury in good order. She is due a gallop tomorrow and looks on target to race at Randwick Saturday week over 1100m.
