1-8 Manawatu 08Apr25 2000MS $10,230 R35 TO R38 Peter Ferguson $7, won by 2nd Robyns Art , 2:00.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Good effort last time to score by 1.1 metres over 2000m at this track. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

9-11 Alexandra Park 19Apr25 2200MS $14,738 R40 TO R47 3U Zachary Butcher $51, btn 30.5m, wnr Sweet Maggie Mae , 1:58.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Had to be steadied near the 500m.

Ran below par last time when ninth over 2200m at Alexandra Park but her form prior to that run was sound. Nicely drawn and can bounce back.

6-9 Alexandra Park 06Dec24 2200MS $9,475 R44 TO R45 3U Josh Dickie $5, btn 13.2m, wnr Barbarossa , 1:59.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay in contacting a track marker passing the 1300m. Lay in through the early stages of the run home.

Commences a new prep following a break of five months. Strong fresh performer and is a top chance to take this out.

2-8 Manawatu 08Apr25 2000MS $10,695 R41 TO R46 3U Peter Ferguson $3, btn 0.8m, wnr Follow Me Fantasy , 2:01.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when a close second over 2000m at this track. One of the main contenders.

6-11 Addington 21Apr25 1980MS $12,281 R44 TO R50 3U Wilson House $16, btn 6.8m, wnr Bad Habits , 1:59.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Was sub-par last time when sixth over 1980m at Addington after drawing poorly. From a better draw can play a major role.

3-8 Cambridge Raceway 22Apr25 2200MS $7,440 R42 TO R49, WITH COND. 3U Emily Johnson $50, btn 23.8m, wnr Beta Prepare , 1:57.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway last time out on the back of a respectable 6 metres fifth at Cambridge Raceway the start before. Will find this tough.

13-14 Addington 19Apr25 2600MS $31,050 R48 TO R52, R53 WITH COND. 4U Blair Orange $34, btn 54.8m, wnr Deceptive Lee , 1:59.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened final bend.

Could only manage 13th last start at Addington over 2600m, beaten 55 metres, off the back of a win at this track two starts ago. Sure to go well.

4-8 Manawatu 08Apr25 2000MS $10,695 R41 TO R46 3U Benjamin Butcher $12, btn 2.7m, wnr Follow Me Fantasy , 2:01.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third at this track two starts back then missed the placings but wasn't beaten all that far last time out over 2000m at this track. Facing a difficult assignment.

4-6 Alexandra Park 19Apr25 2200MS $15,215 R48 TO R50 MOBILE 3U Peter Ferguson $15, btn 10.3m, wnr Carrera Hombre , 2:00.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished runner-up two starts back at this track then missed the frame last time out over 2200m at Alexandra Park. Will be right in the thick of things.

10-10 Cambridge Raceway 22Apr25 1700MS $7,720 R35 TO R50 JUN.DRV 4U Kristina Denifostova $47, btn 47.3m, wnr Benjamin Button , 1:56.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced four wide from the 800m. Weakened rounding the final turn.

Has not been racing well, including a poor effort last time when a long way back in tenth over 1700m at Cambridge Raceway. Form not up to scratch.
