Had a difficult draw last start and didn't make an impact when eighth at Addington over 1980m, beaten 18 metres. Has a low draw this time and can improve.

Finished runner-up over 2600m at Phar Lap Raceway last start after she was unplaced two back at Addington. Sure to be in the mix.

Finished second last start over 2170m at Motukarara on the back of a win at this track two runs back. Draws a little better. Capable of playing a major role.

Was thereabouts when resuming last start, finishing fifth at Addington over 1980m and beaten 10 metres. Watch for a big spike in form.

Didn't perform two runs ago at Addington but made amends last time when a winner by 2.75 metres over 2170m at Motukarara. Should be there at the business end.

12-12 Addington 06Sep24 1980MS $21,938 UP TO R70 WITH COND. 3U Gavin Smith $93, btn 248.9m, wnr Treacherous Baby , 1:57.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened from the 900m.

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Failed to measure up when 12th most recently over 1980m at Addington. Has the job ahead.

Hampered by an easing of the pace near the 1300m.

Filled a minor placing two back at this track and maintained that form last start when third over 2170m at Motukarara. Solid claims.

4-13 Addington 20Sep24 1980MS $16,280 R40 TO R50 3U Wilson House $44, btn 9.2m, wnr Renegade , 1:58.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Finished runner-up at this track two starts ago then couldn't repeat the dose over 1980m at Addington last time but he was only 9 metres off the winner. Prefer others on this occasion.

Continued some plain form when a poor 13th at Motukarara over 2000m two weeks ago. This will fully test.
