Had a difficult draw last start and didn't make an impact when fifth at Motukarara over 2170m, beaten 10 metres. Drawn favourably and is worth another chance.

Form only moderate and has been without a win now for six runs. Last start finished 11th over 1980m at Addington. One of the contenders if at her best.

Form only moderate and has been without a win now for 16 runs. Last start finished tenth over 1980m at Addington. One to consider as her best is good enough.

Wasn't able to figure last start from the awkward draw when eighth at Motukarara over 2000m. Big chance to atone.

9-13 Motukarara 16Feb25 2170SS $11,193 UP TO R40 WITH COND. John R Dunn $51, btn 18.9m, wnr Archie , 2:10.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Placed three back at Waterlea but hasn't shown that sort of form since, the latest effort a 13th at Motukarara over 2170m, beaten 40 metres. Can improve and has to be included among the main chances.

4-14 Motukarara 16Feb25 2000MS $10,350 R35 4U Mia Holbrough $10, btn 3.0m, wnr Searing Light , 2:03.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)
