The majority of fast work was held on the plough, with just two workouts on the (middle) of the course proper.
Redana used the plough and went on her own over 1000m in 1.2.8, the last 600 in 37.2.
The Redwood mare has been working solidly and keeps knocking on the door for an overdue success, with two thirds and two fourths from her last four starts.
She tackles the r60 1300m at Tauherenikau on Sunday, with stable apprentice Amber Riddell claiming a kilo.
Platinum Sixty Six and Connello, neither of whom is engaged this weekend, were paired over 1000m in 1.8.1, the last 600 in 36.4.
Three-year-old filly Amiria, who was disappointing at Hawera last start, did nice work over 800m in 50.2, the last 600 in 37.6.
Sunday acceptor McKhan (r75 1400m) had trainer Ashley Meadows aboard over 1000m in 1.7.4, the last 600 in 38.8. He should give plenty of cheek at Tauherenikau, with Liam Kauri claiming 2kg.
His stablemate Heza Monty, a leading chance in the maiden 2050m, also had his trainer in the saddle over 1000m in 1.8.2, the last 600 in 38.9.
Bee Precious, a younger sister to Bee Enchanted, ran 800m in 52.1, the last 600 in 38 seconds even. Trained by Bryce Newman, she has recorded two Foxton trial seconds over the last month.
Last-start maiden winner Dark Deluxe covered 800m in 53.8, the last 600 in 38.9, with unraced three-year-old gelding Platinum Warrior (by Contributer) and a Contributer filly going together in 54.1 and 38.4. The last two are trained by Bryce Newman.
Coney Island, in at Tauherenikau (r60 2050m), and Keeping Time ran 1000m in 1.7.1, the last 600 in 39.2, while Lalume (mdn 2&3yo 1400m) and Punisher (mdn mile) clocked 1.8.2 and 39.7.
Lalume was a costly failure at Wanganui two weeks ago after struggling in the heavy ground.
Sevenayes (r75 1400m) and Popinjay matched strides over 1000m in 1.10.1, the last 600 in 40.2, followed straight after by Sir Mikki and Lady Anglesea in 1.10.5 and 40.8.
Unraced three-year-old filly Shinyuu (by Nadeem) and stablemate Tokyodome ran 1000m in 1.11.5, the last 600 in 40 seconds, and Shinyuu debuts in the maiden 1000m on Sunday.
Midnight Dart and Kirinka (by Staphanos) went 800m together in 54.1, the last 600 in 39.4, and Call A Friend went alone in 56.1 and 40.1. Pleasing ended with 600m in 40.5.
