Matamata Tuesday trackwork

Whosyourmaster suggested a bold fresh-up effort in Saturday's Foxbridge Plate when he worked boldly at Matamata this morning.

Galloping right-handed 23 metres out on a slow course proper, Whosyourmaster (Coleman) gathered momentum to complete 1200m in 1:24.6 and rounded his work off with a smart final 600m in 38.2. The Captain Rio gelding has come to hand well and looks very bright after his hitout at last week's Te Teko trials. Hayden Tinsley, who rode him in all three wins last season, will be back on board in the Te Rapa feature.

Race rival Tomorrowland (Grylls) was partnered by fellow Te Rapa candidate Packing Chaparral (Coleman), working away steadily and timed over the final 600m in 38.6. Tomorrowland also looks improved for his Te Teko trial.

Another set to resume in the Foxbridge Plate Pussy O'Reilly (Weatherley), caught the eye in her work on the all-weather track, where she cut out a smart 1000m in 1:02.1 and 600m in 36.4.

Back on the course proper, last start winner Nathalie Falmet (R Jones) was never at top as she strode over 1200m in 1:28.6 and 600m in 41.3, while Funhouse (Nafi) led Nectacolecta (Sapsworth) to the end of 1200m in 1:25.8 and 39.8.

Avondale Friday runner Keepherinmind (Grylls) worked well with Cherry Bay (Fraser-Hayes) over the same ground in 1:28.4 and 40.5. Warner (R Jones) and Stralis (Hutton), who also head to Avondale, were timed over their last 600m in 39.5, while Face Up (S Collett) and De Chine (Grylls) returned 38.7.

On the sand Avondale candidates Real Thirsty (Swann) and Oompa (Gibbs-Manssen) impressed with the way they finished their work over 1000m in 1:08.2 and 600m in 39.4. Sophisticate (A Jones) and I'll'ava'alf (S McKay) prepared for Te Rapa with 1200m in 1:20.2, 1:05 and 37.5.

Deluxe Edition (Cole) looked bright in his work over 1200m in 1:24.4 and 40.4. So Glamorous (Grylls) cut out 1000m in 1:09.8 and 39.8, while Chazelle (S Collett) took 1:06.3 and 39.6, Prize Lord (R Jones) 1:08.4 and 41, Prince Henry (Lammas) 1:10.8 and 41.6, and Massofdash (J Collett) 1:13.7 and 41.4.

Irish Encore (Coleman) worked away steadily to run 1000m in 1:15.2 and quickened over the last 600m in 39.8. In similar work Odin's Choice (Conder) returned 1:15.2 and 41.7 and Ultimata (Weatherley) 1:13.5 and 42.6.

Wolfwhistle (Hercock) was among a number of the Autridge-Richards team to stride out over the final 800m of their work, clocking 55.2 and 40.4. Others included Windborne (Cameron) and Carmenize (McNab) 52.4 and 37, Silverdale (McNab) and Amperage (Cameron) 1:00.8 and 46.5, and Beacon Of Hope (Cameron) and Zambezi Warrior (McNab) 57.2 and 40.4.

On the all-weather track Witz End (S Collett) looked in good shape for Avondale when he dashed over 1000m in 1:01.7 and 37.3.  Perfect Fit (Coleman) and Zadiffra (Weatherley), likely runners at Taupo next week, did sound work over 1000m in 1:06.4 and 37.6.

Saoirse (Fraser-Hayes) and Ambitious Power (Dowling) had pace on throughout 1000m in 1:02.4 and 36.6, while Fame Seeker (Dowling) and Talula Belle (Fraser-Hayes) took 1:03.4 and 37.9.

Maestro Tom (A Jones) turned in a good trial for Te Rapa when he and Panella (Conder) ran 1000m in 1:07.5 and 36.8. Arraignment (McNab) and a Perfectly Ready gelding (N Waddell) did well over the same ground in 1:05.5 and 36.9, while The Vicar's Daughter (Roff) clocked 1:06 and 39.3.

Realta (Dowling) and Wraithorth (Fraser-Hayes) weren't extended over 1000m in 1:06.3 and 38.8 and Beauty Ace (Leveque ran the same distance in 1:08.2 and 40.8.
