GENTIAN BLUE (7) lines up for the first time since September 7. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Ruakaka. Now under the care of new trainer Maxim & Samantha Van Lierde. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. NO RAIN EVER (3) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 3 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 1100m at New Plymouth Raceway. Watch for another barnstorming finish. RAYET (10) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 7 lengths away in 11th over 1200m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. STIPULATOR (9) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 2 lengths back in third over 1400m at New Plymouth Raceway. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of a big performance.
