Struggling to find form and has been out of the winners' list at her last four runs. Last start finished 13th over 1980m at Addington. This looks tough.

Finished runner-up over 1950m at Rangiora last start after she missed the placings but wasn't far away two back at Mt Harding. Can play a role in the finish again.

Got home over 2000m at Motukarara last time out after a plain effort two runs ago at Rangiora. Not likely to threaten this time.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 7 metres when fourth over 2000m at Oamaru Raceway. Capable of a better showing.

Has really put it together with wins at her past four starts, including last time out at Hawera over 2000m by 3.5 metres. Racing in great heart and expected to be in the finish again.

7-12 Ascot Park Raceway 20Dec24 2200MS $25,000 F 2 Samantha Ottley $13, btn 44.0m, wnr Spicey Crunch , 1:57.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Strong run two back but couldn't back it up last start when seventh over 2000m at Rangiora. Among the chances.
