Finished runner-up over 1980m at Addington last start after he was easily accounted for two back at Oamaru. Not keen this time.

Was a very close fifth over 2600m at Oamaru last start, beaten 2.5 metres. That was coming off a placing at Wyndham Raceway the start prior. Leading contender.

Continued a long run without winning when tenth at Addington over 2600m last time out. Wait until the form picks up.

Was well beaten last start in a richer race over 2600m at Addington. Expecting a much better run this time.

9-10 Oamaru 15Sep24 2600SS $38,600 R35 TO R91 FFA Robert Butt $38, btn 13.0m, wnr Republican Party , 2:00.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Scored two back but was below his best last time, finishing ninth at Oamaru and beaten 13 metres. Rates well on best form and worth including.

12-16 Addington 27Sep24 2600SS $64,200 FFA Matthew Williamson $124, btn 20.8m, wnr Tact Mcleod , 2:00.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Failed to threaten when resuming last start, finishing 12th at Addington over 2600m and beaten 20 metres. Capable of taking this out.

9-10 Mt Harding 14Apr24 3000SS $19,300 R55 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN Ben Hope $33, btn 16.2m, wnr Dashing Major , 2:09.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was last produced when ninth over 3000m at this track six months ago. This run will do him the world of good.

15-16 Addington 27Sep24 2600SS $64,200 FFA Kimberly Butt $76, btn 25.1m, wnr Tact Mcleod , 2:00.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has had three runs this time in and struggled, the latest when 15th over 2600m at Addington. Tricky draw to overcome. Likely to struggle again.

2-10 Oamaru 15Sep24 2600SS $38,600 R35 TO R91 FFA Jonny Cox $13, btn 0.3m, wnr Republican Party , 2:00.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Opened this preparation last start with a second at Oamaru over 2600m, beaten a neck. Plenty of improvement to come. Bold showing expected again.

7-10 Addington 20Sep24 2600SS $19,300 R55 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY 3U Korbyn Newman $11, btn 8.6m, wnr Tact Mcleod , 2:00.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Fractious prior to the start requiring assistance from a Starting Attendant.

Safely held last time when 8 metres from the winner in seventh over 2600m at Addington. This looks a far sterner test.

9-16 Addington 27Sep24 2600SS $64,200 FFA Craig Ferguson $21, btn 19.7m, wnr Tact Mcleod , 2:00.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has raced twice this campaign and failed to fill a top-three spot on either occasion, the latest when ninth over 2600m at Addington, beaten 19 metres. Capable of a lot more.

14-16 Addington 27Sep24 2600SS $64,200 FFA Gerard O'reilly $64, btn 24.0m, wnr Tact Mcleod , 2:00.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has not been in the placings in two runs this time in work, the latest when 24 metres away in 14th over 2600m at Addington. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.
