Trots OTX Mt Harding - NZ

14-14 Motukarara 22Sep24 2170SS $12,420 NON-WINNERS 3U Steve Trotter $60, btn 172.0m, wnr Rock Lobster , 2:11.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke briefly at the start. Broke again passing the 400m losing all chance.

Failed to raise backers' hopes when resuming last start, finishing 14th at Motukarara over 2170m and beaten 170 metres. Cannot enthuse in this tough race.

7-8 Oamaru 15Sep24 2600SS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 2U Peter Davis $11, btn 165.8m, wnr Our Evie Rae , 2:08.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke again near the 1700m hampering trailing runners and losing all chance.

Finished 165 metres back in seventh at her latest run over 2600m at Oamaru. Capable of a better showing.

6-14 Motukarara 22Sep24 2170SS $12,420 NON-WINNERS 3U Colin Defilippi $23, btn 32.4m, wnr Rock Lobster , 2:11.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Didn't perform well last start from an awkward draw when sixth at Motukarara over 2170m, beaten 30 metres. Has a low draw this time and can improve.

10-13 Phar Lap Raceway 29Sep24 2600SS $12,210 NON-WINNERS 3U Sheree Tomlinson $8, btn 91.0m, wnr Schoemaker , 2:08.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was sub-par last time when tenth over 2600m at Phar Lap Raceway after drawing poorly. Great chance to bounce back.

11-11 Ashburton Raceway 01Sep24 2400SS $10,808 MR40 TO MR47 Jason Thomas $59, btn 124.7m, wnr Clovelly Hill , 2:08.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke racing into the first bend and shifted down the track despite the efforts of driver J Thomas hampering trailing runners and losing considerable ground. Broke again near the 300m losing all chance.

Easily accounted for last time when 125 metres from the winner in 11th over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. This looks a far sterner test.

2-8 Oamaru 15Sep24 2600SS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 2U Brent Borcoskie $16, btn 5.4m, wnr Our Evie Rae , 2:08.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved to second over 2600m at Oamaru last time out following a well-beaten sixth two runs ago at Ashburton Raceway. A big run would not surprise.

4-14 Motukarara 22Sep24 2170SS $12,420 NON-WINNERS 3U B D J Munro $17, btn 1.9m, wnr Rock Lobster , 2:11.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Missed the frame last time out over 2170m at Motukarara but was not too far away, finishing fourth and only 2 metres from the winner. Rates highly and expected to be in the finish.

9-14 Motukarara 22Sep24 2170SS $12,420 NON-WINNERS 3U Leo O'reilly $21, btn 59.9m, wnr Rock Lobster , 2:11.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing ground.

Safely held last time at the first run of the campaign when 60 metres from the winner in ninth over 2170m at Motukarara. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

6-7 Phar Lap Raceway 02Apr24 2050MS $10,038 NON-WINNERS 3U Robbie Holmes $28, btn 32.1m, wnr Dasher , 2:05.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returns from a six months break without the benefit of a public trial. Might need some time.

3-13 Phar Lap Raceway 29Sep24 2600SS $12,210 NON-WINNERS 3U Samantha Ottley $4, btn 6.5m, wnr Schoemaker , 2:08.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not a bad run at the latest outing when third over 2600m at Phar Lap Raceway, beaten 6 metres. This looks a far sterner test.

7-11 Addington 27Sep24 1980MS $49,125 2 Peter Davis $141, btn 26.7m, wnr Habibti Pat , 2:02.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 25 metres when seventh over 1980m at Addington. Watch for a spike in form.

7-12 Addington 23May24 1980MS $15,000 NON-WINNERS 2U Samantha Ottley $6, btn 14.0m, wnr Frazzled , 2:03.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last raced at Addington four-and-a-half months ago when she finished seventh, beaten 14 metres over 1980m. Looks very hard to beat while fresh.

6-13 Phar Lap Raceway 29Sep24 2600SS $12,210 NON-WINNERS 3U Stacy Whatuira $6, btn 14.0m, wnr Schoemaker , 2:08.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been outside the top three recently, last time out finishing sixth over 2600m at Phar Lap Raceway. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.

2-13 Phar Lap Raceway 29Sep24 2600SS $12,210 NON-WINNERS 3U Gerard O'reilly $14, btn 0.3m, wnr Schoemaker , 2:08.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Bounced back last start when second at Phar Lap Raceway over 2600m, beaten a neck. Expected to go well again.

7-8 Addington 17May24 1980MS $46,500 MOBILE 2 Andrew Faulks $33, btn 207.9m, wnr Ya Rite Darl , 2:03.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke shortly after the start losing all chance.

Last raced at Addington five months ago when she finished seventh, beaten 210 metres over 1980m. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.

4-13 Phar Lap Raceway 29Sep24 2600SS $12,210 NON-WINNERS 3U Wilson House $41, btn 10.0m, wnr Schoemaker , 2:08.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not a threat last start when fourth over 2600m at Phar Lap Raceway, beaten 10 metres. Facing a tough assignment this time around.
