6-12 Addington 21Mar25 1980MS $18,000 R47 TO R50 3U Sam Thornley $18, btn 7.3m, wnr Vincent Reactress , 1:58.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced in the middle stages when being restrained to obtain cover. Held up early in the run home and again over the concluding stages.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 7 metres when sixth over 1980m at Addington. This looks a suitable assignment.

10-12 Motukarara 16Mar25 2000MS $11,000 R46 TO R50 4U Sheree Tomlinson $21, btn 54.5m, wnr Echappe , 2:01.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been down the track at his past two starts since winning at Motukarara, the latest effort a tenth at Motukarara over 2000m. One of the leading players on his best form.

5-10 Reefton 09Mar25 2450MS $11,580 R41 TO R50 3U Jonny Cox $25, btn 10.0m, wnr Troubleshooter , 2:03.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered near the 2200m.

Form only moderate and has been without a win now for 17 runs. Last start finished fifth over 2450m at Reefton. One to consider as his best is good enough.

4-12 Motukarara 16Mar25 2000MS $12,000 R40 TO R55 JUN.DRV M 4U D L Dolan $15, btn 4.1m, wnr Classie Linc , 2:02.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Paced roughly in the early stages.

Wasn't beaten far at all when resuming last start, finishing fourth at Motukarara over 2000m and beaten only 4 metres. Open to sharp improvement.

12-12 Motukarara 16Mar25 2000MS $11,000 R46 TO R50 4U Samantha Ottley $30, btn 175.0m, wnr Echappe , 2:01.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over raced middle stages. Broke leaving the final bend losing all chance. Hampered by a weakening runner leaving the final bend.

Comes here off a last-start 12th over 2000m at Motukarara, beaten 175 metres. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

3-12 Addington 21Mar25 2600MS $17,000 R40 TO R50 JUN.DRV 4U Hayden Douglas $38, btn 6.5m, wnr Topaz , 1:59.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Held up final bend.

Finished third over 2600m at Addington last start after he was out of the money two back at Addington. Sure to be there at the business end.

6-9 Addington 14Mar25 1980MS $17,055 R49 TO R55, WITH COND. 3U Matthew Williamson $13, btn 22.7m, wnr Five Crowns , 1:57.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Near the 1600m briefly raced wider on the track when Five Crowns shifted ground outwards.

Has been thereabouts without winning lately, finishing sixth at Addington last time out over 1980m. Great chance to find winning form.

99-12 Addington 21Mar25 1980MS $19,000 R51 TO R56 3U R E Cameron $98, btn 267.3m, wnr General Jen , 1:57.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke rounding the first bend checking trailing runners losing all chance and was retired from the race.

Was disqualified last start at Addington on March 21. Prefer to see him perform well before recommending.

14-16 Reefton 09Mar25 2500SS $21,400 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN Olivia Thornley $108, btn 48.1m, wnr Sinai Sermon , 2:05.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing ground. Raced greenly racing over the crossing near the 2200m.

Was easily accounted for last start in a richer race over 2500m at Reefton. Must do a lot more.

6-12 Motukarara 16Mar25 2000MS $11,000 R46 TO R50 4U Henry Sail $6, btn 23.2m, wnr Echappe , 2:01.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered when an inside runner shifted outwards near the 100m.

Was below his best last time when sixth over 2000m at Motukarara after finishing in the money two back at this track. Deserves another chance.

6-12 Motukarara 16Mar25 2170SS $11,000 R35 TO R50 3U John R Dunn $11, btn 13.8m, wnr She's Tough , 2:04.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced with only one number after the other number had broken.

Has been outside the top three recently, last time out finishing sixth over 2170m at Motukarara. Among the leading chances on best form.

4-8 Oamaru 23Mar25 2000MS $10,695 R45 TO R50 3U Matthew Williamson $29, btn 7.3m, wnr Light Me Up , 2:04.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Easily accounted for last time when 7 metres from the winner in fourth over 2000m at Oamaru. This looks a far sterner test.

10-12 Motukarara 16Mar25 2170SS $11,000 R35 TO R50 3U Ben Hope $6, btn 36.7m, wnr She's Tough , 2:04.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a breaking runner at the start. Over raced middle stages and again when leading around the final bend. Weakened in the run home.

Won two starts ago at Reefton then didn't measure up last time when beaten 35 metres over 2170m at Motukarara. Solid top-three prospects.

1-7 Addington 25Feb25 2600MS $7,300 WITH COND. Blair Orange $2, won by 2nd Louis , 2:00.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was a big winner last time over 2600m at Addington when he cruised to a 6 metres victory. Racing well and rates highly on the latest effort.
