Finds it hard to win but did make a good impression last time out with a close second over 2000m at Motukarara. Nicely drawn. Shapes as one to consider.

2-11 Addington 19Mar25 1980MS $7,860 R35 5U Carter Dalgety $14, btn 4.1m, wnr Almighty Clever , 1:57.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished runner-up over 1980m at Addington last start after he was unplaced two back at Addington. Sure to be in the mix.

Finished 155 metres back in 11th at his latest appearance over 1980m at Addington. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Improved to finish second over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway last start on the back of a mediocre 12th at Addington the run prior. Can retain the good form.

Unplaced two runs back then again missed the placings last start but was only beaten 4 metres when fifth at Oamaru over 2000m. Wait until the form picks up.

Was a $11.6 chance last time and got the job done by a neck over 2000m at Motukarara. In fine form and looks a serious player again.

Comes here off a last-start win in easier company over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Prepared to risk.

Finished third at Motukarara two starts back then missed the top-three but wasn't beaten all that far last time out over 2600m at Addington. Ready to make amends.

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished seventh last start over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway, 9 metres from the winner. This looks a suitable assignment.
