3-8 Oamaru 15Sep24 2000MS $23,250 2 Robbie Holmes $68, btn 4.9m, wnr Rubira , 1:57.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Shifted outwards near the 150m checking Demon Blue.

Tried hard last time when resuming to finish 5 metres from the winner in third over 2000m at Oamaru. Won't find this as easy. Not keen.

6-10 Addington 20Sep24 1980MS $27,750 CG 2 Ricky May $20, btn 23.8m, wnr Marketplace , 1:55.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced early stages.

Finished runner-up two starts back at this track then missed the top-three last start over 1980m at this track. Finding a few ahead of him.

No form available.

Two-year-old gelding by Captaintreacherous from Smiley Sophie on debut. Yet to be spotted at the trials. Maybe later.

3-5 Addington 26Apr24 1980MS $13,163 NON-WINNERS CG 2 Robbie Close $8, btn 33.8m, wnr Malakai , 1:56.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Paced roughly rounding the final bend losing ground.

Was last produced when third over 1980m at this track five months ago. Maybe later.

10-10 Addington 20Sep24 1980MS $27,750 CG 2 Terry Chmiel $18, btn 61.3m, wnr Marketplace , 1:55.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early. Weakened final bend.

Finished runner-up two starts back at this track then missed the top-three last start over 1980m at this track. Ready to make amends.

2-8 Oamaru 15Sep24 2000MS $23,250 2 Jonny Cox $9, btn 3.5m, wnr Rubira , 1:57.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay inwards into the passing lane early in the run home having to be corrected by driver J Cox.

Won two back at Central Southland Raceway then couldn't repeat the dose last time out when second over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 3.5 metres. Well-placed in this contest. Capable of playing a major role.

8-10 Addington 20Sep24 1980MS $27,750 CG 2 Korbyn Newman $26, btn 32.4m, wnr Marketplace , 1:55.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was safely held last time out in eighth first-up over 1980m at this track, beaten 30 metres. This looks a far sterner test.

1-10 Addington 20Sep24 1980MS $27,750 CG 2 Craig Ferguson $4, won by 2nd Got The Chocolates , 1:55.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Resumed last start and proved too strong over 1980m at this track, getting the verdict by 1.5 metres. Sure to be there at the business end.

2-10 Addington 27Sep24 1980MS $16,405 WITH COND. 2 Sheree Tomlinson $11, btn 20.8m, wnr Demon Blue , 1:56.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here off a last-start second over 1980m at this track, beaten 20 metres. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

10-12 Alexandra Park 06Sep24 1700MS $29,250 MOBILE CG 2 Josh Dickie $2, btn 24.3m, wnr Captain Sampson , 1:55.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke near the 1450m losing ground before settling. Raced four wide from the 600m.

Recorded a fine win at Alexandra Park two runs ago then couldn't follow it up over 1700m at Alexandra Park last time, finishing 24 metres away from the winner. Forward performance expected.

2-10 Addington 20Sep24 1980MS $27,750 CG 2 John R Dunn $2, btn 1.6m, wnr Marketplace , 1:55.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returned from a break last start and finished in the money over 1980m at this venue. Placed at his only try when second-up. Expected to feature in the finish.

4-10 Addington 20Sep24 1980MS $27,750 CG 2 Robbie Close $97, btn 8.1m, wnr Marketplace , 1:55.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was thereabouts when resuming last start, finishing fourth at this track over 1980m and beaten 8 metres. Unlikely to threaten against this field.

1-8 Oamaru 15Sep24 2000MS $23,250 2 Blair Orange $3, won by 2nd Tact Teva , 1:57.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returned from a spell with a win at Oamaru over 2000m last time out, scoring by 3.5 metres. Strips fitter so can improve. Fitter for that run and looks to be in for a bright campaign. Leading contender.

7-10 Addington 20Sep24 1980MS $27,750 CG 2 Samantha Ottley $84, btn 28.9m, wnr Marketplace , 1:55.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has raced twice since resuming and failed to fill a top-three spot on either occasion, the latest when seventh over 1980m at this track, beaten 30 metres. Not keen.

2-10 Central Southland Raceway 19Sep24 2400MS $11,580 NON-WINNERS 2U Blair Orange $15, btn 0.3m, wnr Glenkenick , 2:00.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide from the 1300m.
