Fast work during another light gallop session was on the plough or on the synthetic track.
Passenger, trained by the Fannin-Schofer partnership, used the plough and was paired with fellow four-year-old mare Poppy's Girl over 1000m in 1.6.5, coming the final 800m in 51.5, the last 600 in 37.3.
Passenger goes into the maiden 1400 on Sunday with a win at the Foxton trials (1200m) last Friday. She was ridden there by Kavish Chowdoory, who is booked for the mount at the Egmont meeting.
Poppy's Girl (by Harry Angel), her workmate this morning, has been to the races just once previously, being unplaced in a maiden 1200m at Otaki just before last Christmas.
Thirsty and unraced four-year-old gelding Dapper Dan (by Vespa) went together over 1000m in 1.7.8, taking 53.1 for the final 800m, the last 600 in 39.7.
Their stablemates Colorado Star and unraced four-year-old mare Saxon Lady (by Saxon Warrior) were timed 800m in 57.2, the last 600 in 40.8, while Bee Enchanted and a Charm Spirit colt, both with Lisa Latta, took 59.4 and 41.5.
Popsagosey, not seen since May, went an easy 800m in 57.8, the last 600 in 42.1, followed soon after by Papa Surf and Call A Friend together in 57.2 and 43.9.
Papa Surf, in at Hawera (r75 1200m), has been freshened since racing in early June and finished second to stablemate Pleasing at the Foxton trials last Friday.
Full blinkers come off Papa Surf on Sunday, and visor blinkers go on, while in-form stable apprentice Jim Chung (a2) will take the mount.
There was just one gallop recorded on the synthetic track, where top mare Town Cryer and stablemate Nadheema covered 1000m in 1.6.4, coming the final 800m in 51.7, the last 600 in 39.1.
