Sound effort last time to finish 4.5 metres from the winner in fifth over 2170m at Motukarara. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Is a lightly-raced gelding who produced a career-best effort when third at Motukarara over 2170m last start. Making progress and is a good chance to break through.

10-10 Motukarara 17Mar24 2170SS $11,098 NON-WINNERS 3U S J Thornley $11, btn 16.2m, wnr Cheeky Red , 2:10.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has not been in the money in two runs this prep, the latest when 12 metres away in fifth over 2000m at Rangiora. Capable of a better showing.

6-10 Motukarara 17Mar24 2170SS $11,098 NON-WINNERS 3U Robbie Close $9, btn 5.7m, wnr Cheeky Red , 2:10.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Paced roughly shortly after the start.
