Placed at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago over 1850m at Geraldine. Nicely draw and expected to run well.

6-7 Rangiora 01Jan25 2000MS $10,494 R40 TO R50 FM 3U John R Dunn $16, btn 27.3m, wnr Caught The Eye , 2:00.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a breaking runner rounding the first bend. Over-raced middle stages.

Has not trialled since her last run 11 weeks ago. Maybe later.

7-8 Oamaru 02Feb25 2000MS $10,230 R40 TO R50 JUN.DRV 4U N M Burton $10, btn 21.6m, wnr Bad Habits , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke leaving the final bend losing ground. Paced roughly in the run home.

Safely held from an awkward draw when seventh last start over 2000m at Oamaru. Has a better draw this time so should make amends.

Got the job done two runs ago at Addington then didn't back it up last time when beaten 21 metres over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Not keen this time.

6-11 Alexandra Park 20Dec24 1609MS $97,500 R48 TO R61 4U Sailesh Abernethy $37, btn 29.4m, wnr Rough And Ready , 1:54.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

First up since finishing sixth over 1609m at Alexandra Park 12 weeks ago. Can open the campaign with a forward performance.

Last raced at Addington three-and-a-half months ago when she finished ninth, beaten 30 metres over 1980m. Sure to be in the mix while fresh.

8-8 Oamaru Raceway 22Jan25 2000MS $10,230 R47 TO R54 Hayden Douglas $6, btn 80.5m, wnr Jovial Jay , 1:57.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened final bend hampering trailing runners. Struck track markers near the 300m.

Was below her best last time when eighth over 2000m at Oamaru Raceway after finishing in the money two back at Ascot Park Raceway. Rates highly and can atone.

2-9 Addington 28Feb25 1980MS $18,950 R53 TO R62 3U John R Dunn $16, btn 13.2m, wnr Beside Me , 1:55.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Held up final bend.

Produced a better effort last start when second at Addington over 1980m, beaten 13 metres. With even luck is a winning chance.

Is back in form after finishing in the placings at her last two runs, the most recent at Cromwell over 1800m, beaten 2.25 metres. Among the top chances on recent form.

Recorded a fine win at Cromwell two starts ago then couldn't follow it up over 2600m at Oamaru last time, finishing 30 metres away from the winner. Prefer others on this occasion.

6-11 Ashburton Raceway 21Feb25 1700MS $11,790 R40 TO R55 FM 3U Ricky May $2, btn 14.6m, wnr Sarasota Sunset , 1:54.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Shied and broke after 150m and shifted inwards making contact with the wheel of Bonnie's Girl losing ground. Weakened in the run home.

Has been safely held at her past two starts after a solid fourth at Addington three runs back, most recently finishing sixth over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Best form puts her right in this.

2-10 Oamaru 05Mar25 2600MS $10,615 R48 TO R55 Sheree Tomlinson $15, btn 5.4m, wnr Seaside Rose , 1:58.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced throughout. Lay inwards early stages of the run home.

Improved to finish second over 2600m at Oamaru most recently following a mediocre ninth at Rangiora the run prior. Will find this tough.
