Super Gold and Ride The Tide galloped together in great style at Awapuni on Tuesday morning.

The majority of fast work was held on the synthetic track, where Super Gold and Ride The Tide matched strides over a bold 1000m in 1.2.2, finishing with 800m in 47.8, the last 600 in 35.9.

Following solid lead-up form, Nicky Goss-trained Super Gold let an army of supporters down at Woodville last start. However, it was a month between runs for the four-year-old, who should make amends at Wanganui on Saturday.

Ride The Tide, trained by Marieke Simons, was caught in the last few strides the same day at Woodville and has trained on strongly.

Crouch and Donnybrook, two more heading to Wanganui, were paired over 1000m in 1.4.2, coming the final 800m in 49 seconds even, the last 600 in 36.6.

Crouch is a great winning chance, while Donnybrook is fresh from his lower grade victory at the Grand National meeting early last month.

Lantern Way had senior rider Jonathan Riddell aboard over 1000m in 1.6.2 and he completed the final 800m in 50.4, the last 600 in 37.6. He is set for a rewarding spring.

Call A Friend and Thirsty went 800m together in 53.3, the last 600 in 38.7, and their stablemate Ima Brazen One went alone in 54.6 and 40.2. Durham Lad posted 55.1 and 40.4.

Queen Of Spades, who missed a race at New Plymouth last Saturday because of the abandonment, ran 1000m in 1.8.6, the last 600 in 40.5. She is ready to win again.

Pepeha, not seen since April, was sent 800m in 55.9, the last 600 in 41.1, while Sevenayes and Papa Surf were kept to 1000m in 1.14.8 and 42.1.

On the slushy plough, My Father's Gun did well to run 800m in 49.8, the last 600 in 36.4, The nine-year-old has not raced for 11 months, but resumes at Wanganui on Saturday.

Pinkerton, a big improver from his resuming run at Wanganui three weeks ago, ran 1000m in 1.5.1, the last 600 in 38.1, and Redana, making solid progress in a new campaign, recorded 1.7.4 and 38.7.
