New Plymouth Raceway Race 2 - UBP LTD MAIDEN 1100M
TURN IT UP (4) won a trial before being surprisingly beaten as an odds-on favourite fresh up at Awapuni on the poly track there nearly 4 weeks ago. She is back in maiden company here and should set the record straight. On top. HEAVY IS THE CROWN (1) fought on courageously at Tauranga on debut, finishing runner-up. He raced on the pace that day and will be suited by another small field second up. He carries a kilo less this time, after a claim, and is the main threat to the top pick. ILLUSTRIOUS (6) is a locally trained gelding on debut. He has had a couple of trials under his belt to go alongside his private jumpouts on this course. Don't treat him lightly. BOLT (2) failed to fire a shot in BM65 class at Otaki 11 days ago after finishing third there before that in maiden company. Stick with him. MRS FLINTSTONE (5) is on debut and the market will be your best guide.

Second run back. First-up after four months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Awapuni Synthetic on June 22 over 1000m, 4 len behind Bodacious Kate carrying 56kg at $2.30. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at Waverley on January 29 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Dramatic Miss with 55kg at $4.80. Hard to beat in this small field.

First-starter by Derryn out of Shipshape. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. The betting is the best pointer to her chances.

Two-year-old gelding making debut by Eminent out of Lucy With Diamonds. Was third in a Foxton barrier trial over 1000m on June 24. Profiles well and a bold run is expected.
