Finished third over 1980m at Addington last time out on the back of a reasonable 5.5 metres fifth at Motukarara the start before. Can play a role in the finish again.

6-12 Addington 21Mar25 2600MS $17,000 R40 TO R50 JUN.DRV 4U Henry Sail $17, btn 14.3m, wnr Topaz , 1:59.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Held up leaving the final bend.

Finished 14 metres back in sixth at her latest outing over 2600m at Addington. Has the task ahead.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 24 metres when tenth over 1950m at this track. Form not up to scratch.

3-12 Motukarara 16Mar25 2000MS $11,000 R39 TO R45, R46 WITH COND. 4U Blair Orange $18, btn 0.5m, wnr Jose Quivera , 2:06.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Paced roughly in the run home.

Did a good job last start when third at Motukarara over 2000m, beaten half a metre. Has a more favourable draw. Rates highly.

11-13 Rangiora 02Mar25 2600SS $11,701 R35 TO R54 SPECIAL HANDICAP 3U Samantha Ottley $14, btn 63.5m, wnr Kourtney Kardash , 2:02.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay inwards near the 800m striking a track marker.

Won two starts ago at Mt Harding then didn't measure up last time when beaten 65 metres over 2600m at this track. Not keen this time.

11-12 Addington 21Mar25 1980MS $18,000 R47 TO R50 3U Samantha Ottley $3, btn 21.6m, wnr Vincent Reactress , 1:58.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early. Again raced wide from the 1400m. Lay inwards and broke near the 900m losing ground. Weakened final bend.

Was plain when 21 metres away in 11th most recently at his first run back from a spell over 1980m at Addington. Will be a different proposition this time.

4-12 Addington 21Mar25 1980MS $18,000 R47 TO R50 3U Robert Butt $9, btn 5.7m, wnr Vincent Reactress , 1:58.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Again missed the placings last time out but was only 5.5 metres away in fourth over 1980m at Addington. Rates highly in this line-up.

1-13 Oamaru 05Mar25 2000MS $10,175 NON-WINNERS 3U Carter Dalgety $3, won by 2nd Mighty Miki , 1:58.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a breaking runner shortly after the start.

Was a deserved winner last time after a run of minor placings, scoring by 8 metres at Oamaru over 2000m. Sure to be in the finish again.

1-8 Addington 31Jan25 1980MS $13,950 NON-WINNERS 3U Robert Butt $1, won by 2nd Miki Skipper , 2:01.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Kicked off his career last start with a win by 2.25 metres over 1980m at Addington. Tricky draw to overcome but has plenty of upside.

11-11 Reefton 09Mar25 2500SS $11,790 R44 TO R50 INV.DRV 4U Samantha Ottley $14, btn 113.1m, wnr Blue Rock Dancer , 2:04.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start hampering a trailing runner losing ground. Weakened from the 600m.

Not a threat last start when 11th over 2500m at Reefton, beaten 115 metres. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

5-10 Addington 21Mar25 1980MS $17,370 R40 TO R46, R47 WITH COND. 3U Samantha Ottley $51, btn 17.0m, wnr Renaldo , 1:58.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early. Again raced wide from the 900m.

Easily accounted for last time when 17 metres from the winner in fifth over 1980m at Addington. This looks a far sterner test.

11-14 Ashburton Raceway 14Nov24 2400MS $17,595 R44 TO R50 3U G R Sugars $25, btn 72.6m, wnr Song Sung Blue , 1:58.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over raced early stages. Held up final bend by a weakening runner. Weakened over the concluding stages.

Returns following a spell of four-and-a-half months. Last raced when 11th over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Will be better for this run and happy to watch this time.

10-11 Oamaru 05Mar25 2000MS $14,738 WITH COND. Robbie Holmes $77, btn 76.4m, wnr Delightful Peg , 1:56.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened rounding the final bend.

Found winning form three back but the last couple of runs have been less impressive, the latest when beaten 75 metres into tenth at Oamaru. Likely to struggle again.

6-11 Addington 13Dec24 2600MS $16,703 R40 TO R51 3U Samantha Ottley $2, btn 12.7m, wnr Bettor Be Sharp , 2:02.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last raced at Addington three-and-a-half months ago when he finished sixth, beaten 12 metres over 2600m. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.
