Placed at her last appearance three months ago over 1980m at this track. Nicely draw and expected to run well.

6-8 Oamaru 05Mar25 2600SS $10,230 R45 TO R65 SPECIAL G N Thornley $29, btn 8.1m, wnr Who's Queen , 2:05.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished just 8 metres back in sixth at her latest run over 2600m at Oamaru. Hard to make a case.

2-11 Addington 28Feb25 1980MS $19,650 R51 TO R65 Robbie Close $23, btn 10.8m, wnr Regal Sierra , 2:01.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here off a last-start second over 1980m at this track, beaten 10 metres. This looks a far sterner task.

9-11 Addington 28Feb25 1980MS $19,650 R51 TO R65 Blair Orange $7, btn 35.4m, wnr Regal Sierra , 2:01.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke passing the 700m hampering a trailing runner losing ground.

Was runner-up two starts back at this track before disappointing last start when ninth at this track over 1980m. Rates highly and can do much better.

6-10 Patterson Park 07Mar25 2600SS $19,300 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN Paul Nairn $8, btn 8.1m, wnr Maui , 2:07.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished 8 metres back in sixth at his latest appearance over 2600m at Patterson Park. Must do a lot more.

2-11 Reefton 09Mar25 2500SS $17,194 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN Robbie Close $18, btn 10.8m, wnr Franco Josiah , 2:06.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here off a last-start second over 2500m at Reefton, beaten 10 metres. Not as keen on his chances in this field.

3-11 Addington 28Feb25 1980MS $19,650 R51 TO R65 John R Dunn $3, btn 13.2m, wnr Regal Sierra , 2:01.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke in the score up losing ground.

Finished third most recently over 1980m at this track to continue the solid recent form. One of the primary contenders.

4-8 Oamaru 05Mar25 2600SS $10,230 R45 TO R65 SPECIAL Riley Harrison $3, btn 4.6m, wnr Who's Queen , 2:05.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Again missed the placings last time out but was only 4.5 metres away in fourth over 2600m at Oamaru. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.

1-8 Oamaru 05Mar25 2600SS $10,230 R45 TO R65 SPECIAL Carter Dalgety $8, won by 2nd Miles Away , 2:05.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Back in winning form last time over 2600m at Oamaru, scoring by 1.4 metres. In form now and can go on with it.

1-12 Rangiora 02Mar25 2600SS $12,500 R43 TO R57 SPECIAL Sam Thornley $3, won by 2nd Torvi , 2:09.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Won last start at Rangiora over 2600m by 2.75 metres. That win made it two wins and two placings from the last five starts. Should be in the finish again.

9-13 Addington 29Nov24 1980MS $25,438 UP TO & INCLUDING R65 3U L J Whittaker $4, btn 52.4m, wnr Styrax , 1:59.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early and middle stages. Shifted inwards placing Bounce N Beyond in restricted room near the 1400m. Weakened final bend.

Is a handy type returning from a three-and-a-half months break. Strong fresh performer and is a top chance to take this out.

8-11 Addington 28Feb25 1980MS $19,650 R51 TO R65 Sam Thornley $6, btn 32.1m, wnr Regal Sierra , 2:01.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke shortly after the start losing ground. Raced wide without cover from the 800m.

Disappointed last start when eighth at this track over 1980m but his form prior to that was solid. Leading contender on best form.

5-11 Ascot Park Raceway 07Mar25 2700SS $19,650 R51 TO R80 SPECIAL HANDICAP Brad Williamson $14, btn 9.7m, wnr Samanthas Moon , 2:06.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Saluted at Central Southland Raceway two runs back then couldn't follow it up over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway last time, albeit only 9 metres off the winner. Finding a few ahead of him.

6-9 Addington 07Feb25 1980MS $18,003 R51 TO R65, R66 TO R70 WITH CO Seth Hill $16, btn 21.9m, wnr Masterly , 2:00.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Recorded a fine win at Oamaru two starts ago then couldn't follow it up over 1980m at this track last time, finishing 21 metres away from the winner. Finding a few ahead of him.

2-6 Oamaru 18Aug24 2600SS $17,900 R51 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN Blair Orange $2, btn 2.2m, wnr Galleons Ambassador , 2:05.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Resumes from a spell after showing some very good form last campaign. Last appeared when second over 2600m at Oamaru seven months ago. First-up winner in the past and is a leading contender.

3-11 Reefton 09Mar25 2500SS $17,194 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN John R Dunn $5, btn 14.6m, wnr Franco Josiah , 2:06.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)
