, Punters Info<\/a><\/p>\n The following horses have trialled pleasingly in recent weeks and now (28\/8\/26) they head back to the racetrack.<\/p>\n Friday – Auckland\u00a0<\/p>\n Wat Next (3f Art Major \u2013 Wat A Woman) Tr. N Purdon<\/p>\n Last raced in a Group 1 behind Secret Wish in early May but has been back to the Pukekohe workouts in recent weeks in preparation for a fresh campaign. The latest of those a placed effort behind stablemate Just Us Two after leading out then taking a trail behind the winner, fought on in a 2:00.9MR, 800m in 56.9, 400m in 27.1. Resumes at Auckland this Friday night (Race 1) and has scored a very handy draw at three. Has a rating of 35 but after only 10 starts (1 win) has bankrolled $112k in earnings thanks to winning a Harness Million 2YO Fillies pace at Addington at just her third start last year. Meets a few \u2018seasoned\u2019 campaigners in this assignment but if she is to tackle 3YO filly riches later in her campaign, she will need to give a good account of herself here.<\/p>\n To place a bet in this race click here<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n We Will Rise Again (2c Lazarus \u2013 Gracelands Rose) Tr. Purdon\/Phelan<\/p>\n Did a promising \u2018job\u2019 in his first stint earlier in the year including a third placing behind the unbeaten Tour Party (4 wins from 4 starts) in the Group 1 Cardigan Bay Stakes back in March. Two trials earlier in the month including a win at the Pukekohe trials (18\/8\/26) where he blasted to the lead and did enough to hold out Omaha Lincoln in a 2:01.9MR, 800m in 57.0, 400m in 27.2. Goes to Auckland to kick start a fresh campaign and has drawn the middle of a seven-horse field of non-win 2YOs (Race 3) over 2200m Mob. Another to be having one eye on richer spoils later in the season but his class should still take him close on this occasion. Interestingly, his second dam is millionaire mare Tupelo Rose who won 35 races on the track<\/p>\n To place a bet in this race click here<\/a><\/p>\n Friday – Addington\u00a0<\/p>\n Captain Tyron (3g Captain Crunch \u2013 Passion And Power) Tr. R & J Dunn<\/p>\n The veteran of just four starts but with three of those winning efforts (the other a second placing) he obviously is a very promising pacer. The last of those way back in January at Nelson. Went to the Rangiora trials last week (19\/8\/26) and looked awesome in beating five rivals which included open class pacers Wag Star and Franco Sinatra (off 30m). MR:2:02.9, 800m in 56.3, 400m in 28.0. Resumes at Addington this Friday (Race 8) and has drawn wide (8) against some very handy intermediate pacers. Likely to need this run but looks a very progressive type who should be followed over the coming weeks. The trial was impressive.<\/p>\n
