Last-start winner Knickerless and her maiden stablemate Identikit highlighted a busy gallop session at Awapuni on Saturday morning.
Fast work was held on the synthetic track or on the plough (slow).
Knickerless and Indentikit worked separately, with Knickerless covering 800m in 51.1, the last 600 in 36.2, while Identikit went 1000m in 1.6.2, the last 600 in 38 seconds even.
Knickerless chalked up an overdue success at Waverley two weeks ago, scoring by nearly nine lengths on the heavy-9 track. She may have found her forte over a middle-distance and further spoils await at short notice.
Identikit (by Ocean Park) was unplaced when resuming at Wanganui last Sunday and looks a big improver when she steps up over ground again. She won a maiden race over 2200m at Waverley last October.
Their unraced stablemates Versatile and Prostatic did nice work over 1000m in 1.8.8, the last 600 in 38.9, and Versatile (by Almanzor) debuts at Hawera (mdn 2yo 1100m) on Tuesday after thirds at the Levin jump-outs and the Foxton trials.
Jestin Case, in the r65 mile, worked alone over 1000m in 1.10, the last 600 in 39.8, and Sotirio, who has not raced since the spring, took 1.11.8 and 39.3.
Omega Boy, off to Hawera (r65 mile), had last-start Waverley winner Lemaitre for a partner over 1000m in 1.12.6, the last 600 in 39.7.
Platinum Designs (r65 1200m No 2) left 1000m behind in 1.9.2, the last 600 in 40 seconds even, while Kosta and last-start winner French Doll went together, finishing with 600m in 40.7.
Kawatiri (r65 mile) was sent 1000m in 1.11.9, the last 600 in 40.2, and Lantern Way posted 1.12.4 and 40.7.
Sweet Ada and The Precursor from the Fannin stable were paired over 1000m in 1.12.9, the last 600 in 41.3, and Smokin Mo did a quiet round before going 1000m in 1.13.3 and 41.1.
Hawera maiden two-year-old acceptors Brutiful Lass and Platinum Diamond covered 800m in 55.9, the last 600 in 41.3.
Brutiful Lass (by Brutal) has had one start for an unlucky second at Tauherenikau on Waitangi Day, while Platinum Diamond (by Hello Youmzain) is on debut after a Levin jump-out win and a Foxton trial placing.
Damiano, in at Hawera (mdn 3yo 1400m), was timed 800m in 57.4, the last 600 in 42.5, and his first-up second at Waverley was full of merit.
Race rival Kids Got Gears, who will wear blinkers instead of side winkers, had Get Funky (r65 1200m No 1) alongside over an easy 1000m in 1.17.1, the last 600 in 43.4, and The Scunner, after a warm-up lap, recorded the same times.
On the plough, Share Power (r65 1200m No 1), trained by Deborah Parry, and Goddess (r65 1200m No 2), trained by Lucy Tanner, did solid work over 1000m in 1.7.8, the last 600 in 37.7.
Goddess has been working well.
Kentucky Boy (mdn 2100m) gathered speed from the 1000m to complete 800m in 52.4, the last 600 in 39.3, and his stablemate Casta Shadow (mdn 3yo 1400m) ended with 39.8.
Super Spirit was timed 1000m in 1.7.5, the last 600 in 39.7, while John Doe (mdn 1400m), a big improver, came up with 1.8.6 and 39.4. He will wear blinkers for the first time on Tuesday
