Trentham Race 1 - GRAHAM'S PAINTERS 1400
THE DIRTY DEE (6) was sent out as an odds-on favourite when making her debut on her home track at New Plymouth a month ago, and delivered the goods as expected by over 3 lengths. A wet track won't be a problem, and she is set to repeat the dose. THE ESPY (1) showed talent as a juvenile and will resume from a spell with 4 trials this season already under his belt. Hard to beat fresh up. OUR SNIPER (3) won fresh up in his first run as a 3-year-old, and then was third in a 5-horse race at Whanganui a fortnight ago. The step from 1200m to 1400m will suit him, and he has top 3 claims again. LAURA'S LEGACY (4) beat a handy field on debut just over a fortnight ago at New Plymouth, and is bred to have no trouble with a wet track. She has scope and can go on with the job now. JUSTICE FOR ALL (7) finally struck a firmer surface at New Plymouth last time out and got the job done there by a nose. Now that the penny has dropped, she can go on with it.

Dual acceptor. Getting off the mark on debut; won by 1.3 len at New Plymouth Raceway November 21 over 1200m in soft going defeating Le Smoke with 55.5kg at $8.50. Better for that experience and is worth following up.

Third race start. First start 4th in a small field at Woodville on September 7 over 1200m, on heavy track; 4 len behind Brady carrying 52kg at $3.20. Went for a break before returning ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Tauherenikau November 9 over 1400m in soft going defeating Triple Threat with 53kg at $7.50. Back in good order and is one of the chances.

Freshened since getting off the mark on debut; favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 3.5 len win at New Plymouth Raceway November 5 over 1400m defeating La Cadiere carrying 56kg at $1.90. Can go right on with the job now.

Most recently won by a nose at New Plymouth Raceway November 21 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Sattriya carrying 56kg at $12.20. The race before that failed to make an impression; ran last of 8 at Pukekohe on October 29 over 1600m, on a wet track; 11 len behind Cirque Du Rose carrying 55kg at $3.40. One of the better chances.
