8-9 Rangiora 01Jan24 2000MS $10,896 NON-WINNERS MOBILE 3U P J Wakelin $59, btn 111.2m, wnr George Eliot , 0:00.00 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a breaking runner rounding the first bend. Broke near the 600m losing all chance.

Returns from a short layoff without the benefit of a public trial. Likely to need the run.

6-14 Motukarara 17Mar24 2170SS $11,903 NON-WINNERS 3U J W Cox $22, btn 28.9m, wnr Bounce N Beyond , 2:11.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke briefly racing into the first bend, losing ground.

Has raced twice this campaign and failed to fill a top-three spot on either occasion, the latest when sixth over 2170m at Motukarara, beaten 30 metres. Expecting a better run this time.

7-11 Reefton 10Mar24 2500SS $11,790 NON-WINNERS 3U Robbie Close $44, btn 5.9m, wnr Real Moonshine , 2:17.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Again missed the placings last time out but was only 6 metres away in seventh over 2500m at Reefton. Capable of bouncing back.

3-9 Wyndham 16Mar24 2400SS $11,370 NON-WINNERS 3U E J Swain $77, btn 11.6m, wnr Huckleberry , 2:09.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced middle stages.

Not a bad run at the latest outing when third over 2400m at Wyndham, beaten 11 metres. This looks a far sterner test.

8-15 Mt Harding 10Sep23 2400SS $11,578 NON-WINNERS 3U J P Versteeg $40, btn 19.2m, wnr Lookalike Lobell , 2:09.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returns from a six-and-a-half months layoff without the benefit of a public trial. Might need some time.

Has been struggling of late, most recently finishing fifth over 1980m at Addington. Same draw this time and can do much better.

5-7 Oamaru 06Mar24 2600SS $10,950 NON-WINNERS 3U K K Tomlinson $41, btn 85.9m, wnr Moment Of What , 3:29.30 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Trotted roughly throughout losing considerable ground. Weakened from the 600m.

Easily accounted for last time at the first run of the campaign when 85 metres from the winner in fifth over 2600m at this track. Not keen on her chances in this field.

5-11 Reefton 10Mar24 2500SS $11,790 NON-WINNERS 3U S J Boyd $27, btn 4.6m, wnr Real Moonshine , 3:32.90 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced middle stages.

Was lining up for just the second time when out of the money last start over 2500m at Reefton, beaten 4.5 metres. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.

Improved to finish third over 1980m at Addington last start on the back of a well-beaten fifth at Motukarara the run prior. Winning prospects.

Comes here off a last-start second over 2400m at Wyndham, beaten 5 metres. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

7-7 Oamaru 06Mar24 2600SS $10,950 NON-WINNERS 3U R D Close $41, btn 151.5m, wnr Moment Of What , 3:29.30 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke shortly after the start losing all chance.
