Waverley Race 1 - NICK O’LEARY FARRIER
SECURER (1) raced keenly in early stages and kicked on well in the straight on to produce a good maiden win at Otaki over 1200m. Was well backed on debut and showed plenty of potential at the trials. Tough to beat. VIRIDIAN (5) came home strong in the final stages at New Plymouth over 1200m after settling near the back of the field. In her most recent trial she was mostly held up in the straight. Worth some thought. WALKIN IN MEMPHIS (2) returns from lay-off and will be fitter for its most recent trial, finishing 7 of 11. Capable of a bold return. GAMBLING GIRL (4) settled near the back and picked up impressively to score over the top of them at this course. Placed 5 of 9 in a recent trial on a heavy track. Improver. POWHIRI (6) stalked the speed and worked home well to get into the placings at Woodville 7 Oct. Amongst the chances here.

Scored over 1200m at Otaki last start when lining up for the first time. Likely to be popular with punters and looks very tough to beat again.

Returns from a lay-off. Fitter for a recent trial at Arawa Park. Raced just once last campaign and finished seventh at Ruakaka over 1100m. Capable of a bold return.

Returned from a spell and was easily accounted for when fifth over 1200m at Otaki. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.

Settled off the pace on debut but kept coming to finish runner-up, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1200m at New Plymouth Raceway when well in the market. Same jockey Michael Mcnab engaged. Nicely placed to open her account.

Nicely bred filly by sire Satono Aladdin from the stakes-winning mare Attention Seeker. Has trialled four times leading into this. Facing a stiff test.
