Avondale Race 6 - FUNTIME CATERING MDN 1400
LINKIN PARK (2) has shown a lot of heart in his last couple of starts with a brace of second-place finishes to his credit, including a particularly tough run 5 days ago at Tauranga when racing keenly in front. If he can settle a touch better, then he will take them all the way here. SNEAKY CYCLONE (10) has improved in each of his runs to date and will have no fitness excuses third up from a spell. Craig Grylls sticks with him, and so do we. MANORBIER (3) found 1150m at Te Aroha too short for him just over a fortnight ago, and was safely held. The extra 250m is the key here, and he can bounce straight back into the money. FRENCH THINKER (13) resumes from a spell with a recent Ellerslie trial win under her belt. Let the market be your best guide.

Resuming after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign fourth of 10 at Cambridge Synthetic July 23 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Whosaid carrying 57kg at $5.50. Previously first up; seventh of 9 at Ellerslie Mdn-Sw April 9 over 1400m, soft track; 6 len behind She's A Dealer with 58.5kg at $11.80. Capable of a bold return.

Recent form sound. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 13 at Tauranga on November 1 over 1400m, on a slow track; head behind Happy Venture carrying 58.5kg at $12.80. The start before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 11 at Te Aroha on October 22 over 1400m, slow going long-neck behind What A Yarn carrying 54kg at $15.10. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.

Third-up today. Resuming came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Taupo on October 10 over 1000m, slow going 1.3 len behind Hot Card with 58.5kg at $18.10. Second run from a spell 9th of 13 at Te Aroha on October 22 over 1150m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Waiata with 58.5kg at $5.70. Great chance to atone.

Second-up second last of 9 at Pukekohe on October 29 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind St Kilda with 56.5kg at $63.30. Looks tested again.

First starter. Four-year-old gelding by Turn Me Loose out of Keep Thinking. At the most recent trial finished sixth at Ellerslie over 1100m. Worth consideration.

Second run back. First-up after five months 4th of 9 at Matamata on October 17 over 1200m, slow going 2.75 len behind Halo's Fire carrying 57.5kg at $17.70. Previously second-up second last of 9 at Matamata on May 14 over 1200m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Alacritous with 57.5kg at $23.70. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.

Third-up today. First-up 4th of 9 at Taupo on October 10 over 1100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Hasstorock with 57.5kg at $8.10. Last start 6th of 13 at Te Aroha on October 22 over 1400m, slow going 4.5 len behind Billy Blinx carrying 56kg at $7.40. Shows promise. Fitter for recent racing and is one of the main contenders.

Three-year-old gelding (Staphanos - Moonshine Lucy) who was bought for NZD $ 10,000 (NZB 2025 Karaka - Book 2). He has three recent trials leading in today's debut. Won his most recent trial at Cambridge Synthetic over 1300m on September 30. Capable of a solid performance.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 7th of 9 at Cambridge Synthetic on June 4 over 1300m, 5.5 len behind Karyon with 56.5kg at $5. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Expecting her to hit the ground running this campaign.

Four-year-old mare (Sweynesse - Pistol Packin Mama) will no doubt benefit from the six trials prior to her debut today. Fourth at Te Awamutu in a 850m trial on October 9. Wait and see what she can do.
