Form average and it has been five runs since the last win. Last start finished 13th over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. Capable of going a lot better.

13-13 Addington 09Aug24 1980MS $15,263 R35 TO R43 3U John R Dunn $6, btn 62.9m, wnr Jaccka Opa , 2:01.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early and middle stages. Weakened from the 600m hampering a trailing runner.

Continued some plain form when a mediocre 13th at Addington over 1980m two months ago. Not keen.

8-12 Mt Harding 28Jan24 2300MS $11,500 R42 TO R50 3U Jim Curtin $35, btn 40.2m, wnr Cardi B , 2:00.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has not trialled since his last appearance eight months ago at this track when eighth. Maybe later.

3-13 Oamaru 15Sep24 2000MS $11,193 R35 TO R46 3U Blair Orange $12, btn 5.7m, wnr Wavewatcher , 2:03.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Commendable effort last time to finish 5.5 metres from the winner in third over 2000m at Oamaru. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

8-10 Reefton 10Mar24 2500SS $11,580 R42 TO R49 INV.DRV 4U Sarah O'reilly $16, btn 25.9m, wnr Smart I Am , 2:08.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start hampering a trailing runner losing ground.

Returns from a seven months layoff without the benefit of a public trial. Has won when fresh in the past. Can play a role in the finish.

9-12 Motukarara 22Sep24 2170SS $11,000 R35 TO R50 INV.DRV 4U Robbie Close $8, btn 29.2m, wnr Amazing Tom , 2:03.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay inwards when racing over the crossing near the 1650m and locked wheels with Ebury Street briefly hampering a trailing runner. Hampered by an easing of the pace near the 1300m.

Missed out last start when ninth over 2170m at Motukarara after finishing in the placings at Addington the start prior. Can make amends.

8-12 Motukarara 22Sep24 2170SS $11,000 R35 TO R50 INV.DRV 4U Rory Mcilwrick $34, btn 27.5m, wnr Amazing Tom , 2:03.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke shortly after the start losing ground.

Has not been racing well, including a poor effort last time when a long way back in eighth over 2170m at Motukarara. Has the job ahead.

Scored at this track two back then less effective last time when tenth over 1980m at Addington. Among the leading players.

Nice effort at his latest appearance to score over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway, getting home by 0.8 metres. Won't find this as easy. Not keen.

3-13 Motukarara 22Sep24 2000MS $11,701 R41 TO R50 4U Samantha Ottley $28, btn 2.2m, wnr Wuhan , 2:02.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has filled a minor placing at her last two starts, the latest effort a third over 2000m at Motukarara. Sure to be prominent.

Last raced at Addington three-and-a-half months ago when he finished fourth, beaten 15 metres over 1980m. Will be there at the business end.

In the money last time when second and beaten half a metre over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. Bright prospects again.

6-11 Addington 27Sep24 1980MS $16,703 R48 TO R51 3U Sheree Tomlinson $38, btn 11.1m, wnr Reklaws Dream , 1:57.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished sixth most recently over 1980m at Addington, 11 metres from the winner. A better run is on the cards.
