Was beaten comfortably into 11th last time out despite betting confidence over 2170m at Motukarara. This looks a nice assignment.

Recorded a fine win at Oamaru Raceway two runs ago then couldn't follow it up over 1950m at Rangiora last time, finishing 160 metres away from the winner. Hard to enthuse.

8-11 Motukarara 16Feb25 2170SS $10,808 R41 TO R50 4U Mia Holbrough $6, btn 25.9m, wnr Martha Stuart , 2:07.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has had awkward gates at her last couple of starts, most recently when eighth at Motukarara over 2170m, beaten 25 metres. Much better gate this time and gets a chance to show her best.

Has filled a minor placing at her last two starts, the latest effort a third over 2600m at Addington. Sure to feature.

Scored three runs back but two subsequent runs have been below par, the latest a ninth at Addington when beaten 70 metres. Better than the last couple and can improve sharply.
