Te Aroha Race 1 - TEAM WEALLEANS MAIDEN 1150
DEPRIVE (2) resumes from a short spell, and he went close to winning in his initial prep late last year. His only run on this track was full of merit. He looks to be hard to beat in this race fresh. ARMAGH (3) showed plenty of talent in 2 starts in Australia after initially being trained here by his current trainers. He looked sharp in a recent trial at Ellerslie, and with the aid of a 1kg claim, he will be poised to run a big race. Check the market moves. DEEP PURSUIT (1) has been trying to win a race for some time, and he is knocking on the door this prep, finishing runner-up in 3 of his 4 starts this prep. He cops a wide gate, but can still go one better. GENEVA QUEEN (8) made up a lot of ground when finishing runner-up on debut, and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should go close to taking this out. Stick with her. PAPER MOON (9) is a promising filly who strips fitter second up from a spell. Include in all top 4 combos.

Resuming from a spell. Recent trial winner at Ellerslie. Opened last campaign with a seventh at Kembla Grange over 1200m. Capable of a bold return.

Unraced 3yo gelding who has trialled twice. Strongest trial form was when he won at Pukekohe on January 20. Looks a capable type and will be competitive.

Yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest effort a seventh over 1400m at Pukekohe a month ago. Not keen on her chances.

Finished second on debut last start over 1050m at Matamata, working through the line nicely. Looks well placed over the longer trip. Has plenty of upside and gets her chance to break through.

Form either side of a spell has been very ordinary. Resumed last start and was beaten 7 lengths over 1200m at Pukekohe. Hard to get excited about her chances.

Resuming from a break. Placed in a recent Taupo trial. Opened last campaign with a seventh at this track over 1150m. Might be better off following this outing.
