Bradman and Charlotte's Way from the Bergerson barn and Mike Breslin-trained stablemates Call A Friend and Craftsman all worked in good style at Awapuni on Tuesday morning.

Fast work was held three or four metres out from the rail on the new course proper, on the plough or on the synthetic track.

The majority of horses that were timed are entered for the Marton meeting on the synthetic track on Sunday.

Saturday's Winter Cup hopeful Bradman and Charlotte's Way used the course proper and the pair reeled off 1000m together in 1.3.9, the last 600 in 36.5.

Bradman had Saturday's jockey Bruno Queiroz aboard and the last-start Trentham winner goes to Riccarton with a vengeance after being beaten by two noses in the race last year.

Call A Friend had stablemate Craftsman for a partner over 1000m in 1.5.7, the last 600 in 36.2, and Call A Friend is forgiven her last-start failure after getting the tongue over the bit plus losing a plate.

Wonderboy and Timex, two more from the Bergerson stable, did nice work over 1000m in 1.8.2, the last 600 in 36.9. Wonderboy struggled in the ground fresh up at Hawera, while Timex, unplaced on debut, looks a big improver.

Gum Basher, in Sunday's $100,000 Polytrack Championship, had Ardee Boy alongside over 1000m in 1.8.9, the last 600 in 36.7. Gum Basher boasts good all-round form on the synthetic track and is an outside chance on Sunday.

Popsagoosey and Platinum Sixty Six matched strides over 1000m in 1.6.4, the last 600 in 37 seconds even, and looked keen to go faster.

Grand National carnival hopes West Coast and Berry The Cash drew plenty of attention with their final speed hit-out, pace-working one round before galloping 1400 metres. They covered the final 1000m in 1.5.2, the last 600 in 37.9, and are in fine fettle.

Last-start synthetic winner Love Janie and Verardino went together over 1000m in 1.6.7, the last 600 in 37.7, while their stablemates Sir Mikki and unraced three-year-old Thanks Liz (by Sweynesse) followed in 1.8.4 and 37.8.

Smart two-year-old Intention and stablemate Papa Surf were sent 1000m, but could only be timed the last 600, which took 37 seconds even. Intention could kick off her second season in a three-year-old fillies' dash (1100m) at Taupo on Sunday fortnight.

Tears Of Victory and unraced four-year-old Toronto (by Vancouver), both trained by Kevin and Stephen Gray, ran 800m in 54.7, the last 600 in 38.1. Toronto has recorded a win and a second at the Foxton trials.

Exaggeration and Yakattack, two more with the Gray partnership, clocked 55.8 for 800m, the last 600 in 38.7. Exaggeration has chalked up a first and second in his two races on the synthetic so far.

Their stablemate Cosentino, who boasts solid synthetic track form going into Sunday's $100,000 sprint feature, worked alone over 800m in 56.2, the last 600 in 39.8.

Saturday's Winter Cup chance Belardo Boy went an easy 1000m in 1.10.7, the last 600 in 39.2, and that was all trainer Lisa Latta wanted before the horse headed south.

On the plough, Ride The Tide had part-owner and trainer Marieke Simons aboard over 1000m in 1.2.1, with the final 800m taking 48.1, the last 600 in 36.2. He has been placed on the synthetic track, and could go a cheeky race on Sunday.

John Doe, freshened since last racing in mid-May, was timed 1000m in 1.9.9, increasing the tempo as he went to finish with 800m in 51.8, the last 600 in 37.3.

Final Chapter went a few minutes earlier over the same distance in 1.8.6 and 52.9, the last 600 in 39.6.

On the synthetic track, Sevenayes and a Harry Angel colt, both trained by Mike Breslin, did three-quarter pace over 800m, the last 600 in 44.4.
