Trots OTX Ashburton - NZ

No form available.

Entire by Majestic Son from Sundress on debut. An ideal draw brings him right under notice. Profiles nicely and is expected to measure up.

3-13 Waterlea 19Jan25 2400SS $12,210 NON-WINNERS & R35 WITH COND. S Robbie Close $50, btn 10.3m, wnr Go Home Denise , 2:14.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not a bad run at the latest outing when third over 2400m at Waterlea, beaten 10 metres. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

14-14 Motukarara 16Feb25 2170SS $12,420 NON-WINNERS 3U Robert Butt $3, btn 166.9m, wnr Rakero Ace , 2:09.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been down the track since a minor placing at Reefton three runs back, most recently finishing 14th at Motukarara over 2170m. Can improve and has to be included among the main chances.

13-14 Motukarara 16Feb25 2170SS $12,420 NON-WINNERS 3U Robbie Holmes $18, btn 111.5m, wnr Rakero Ace , 2:09.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Had a difficult draw last start and didn't make an impact when 13th at Motukarara over 2170m, beaten 110 metres. From a better draw can play a major role.

12-13 Waterlea 19Jan25 2400SS $12,210 NON-WINNERS & R35 WITH COND. S Kyle Cameron $13, btn 307.8m, wnr Go Home Denise , 2:14.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke after 150m checking Star Invasion losing all chance.

Placed three back at Phar Lap Raceway but hasn't shown that sort of form since, the latest effort a 12th at Waterlea over 2400m, beaten 310 metres. Winning chance on his best form.

7-11 Mt Harding 09Feb25 2400SS $11,790 NON-WINNERS 3U G N Thornley $9, btn 22.7m, wnr Sharma Trouble , 2:14.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke rounding the first bend hampering trailing runners losing ground.

Has been outside the top three recently, last time out finishing seventh over 2400m at Mt Harding. Has ability and can do much better.

Gelding by Muscle Mass from Carnegie Hall on debut. Looks a winning hope despite the draw.

No form available.

Gelding from the Ken Ford & Amanda Tomlinson stable on debut. Expected to run well despite the awkward draw.

4-14 Motukarara 16Feb25 2170SS $12,420 NON-WINNERS 3U Samantha Ottley $13, btn 14.9m, wnr Rakero Ace , 2:09.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Shifted outwards at the start and broke losing ground. Hampered by a breaking runner near the 300m.

Comes here after finishing a well-beaten fourth on debut over 2170m at Motukarara six days ago. Might find this beyond him.

4-9 Oamaru 02Feb25 2000SS $11,370 NON-WINNERS 3U Lionel Dobbs $23, btn 25.9m, wnr Brother Johnson , 2:14.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not a threat last start when fourth over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 25 metres. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

7-9 Oamaru 02Feb25 2000SS $11,370 NON-WINNERS 3U Colin Defilippi $12, btn 143.6m, wnr Brother Johnson , 2:14.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke near the 500m losing all chance.

Comes here off a last-start seventh over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 145 metres. Won't find this easy. Not keen.

Mare from the Kevin Fairbairn yard on debut. Profiles well so expect a bold showing despite the draw.

11-13 Waterlea 19Jan25 2400SS $12,210 NON-WINNERS & R35 WITH COND. S Amanda Tomlinson $13, btn 229.8m, wnr Go Home Denise , 2:14.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Trotted roughly in the early stages before breaking near the 2100m losing all chance.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 230 metres when 11th over 2400m at Waterlea. This looks a suitable assignment.

14-15 Mt Harding 26Jan25 2400SS $12,630 NON-WINNERS Robbie Holmes $30, btn 122.9m, wnr Bodacious , 2:13.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Paced shortly after the start having to be broken up by driver R Holmes and switched to a pace again racing into the first bend hampering trailing runners losing ground. Again switched to a pace and broke leaving the final bend losing all chance.

Finished 125 metres back in 14th at his latest appearance over 2400m at Mt Harding. Expecting a better run this time.

6-11 Mt Harding 09Feb25 2400SS $11,790 NON-WINNERS 3U Gavin Smith $32, btn 19.2m, wnr Sharma Trouble , 2:14.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Paced for a short distance at the start. Raced wide early.

Easily accounted for last time when 19 metres from the winner in sixth over 2400m at Mt Harding. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

8-15 Mt Harding 26Jan25 2400SS $12,630 NON-WINNERS Anj Mugford $101, btn 40.0m, wnr Bodacious , 2:13.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Checked by a breaking runner racing into the first bend. Hampered by a breaking runner near the 1100m.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 40 metres when eighth over 2400m at Mt Harding. Needs to lift.

First up since finishing 12th over 2170m at Motukarara five months ago. Solid top-three prospects.
