Has not been racing well, including a poor effort last time when a long way back in tenth over 1980m at Addington. Not on current form.

14-14 Motukarara 17Mar24 2000MS $11,903 R35 TO R36 3U Terry Chmiel $7, btn 36.7m, wnr Hes Fast And Furious , 2:03.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Scored two back but was below his best last time, finishing 14th at Motukarara and beaten 35 metres. Better than the last run and can improve sharply.

1-10 Reefton 10Mar24 2500SS $11,580 R42 TO R49 INV.DRV 4U Kimberly Butt $2, won by 2nd Blue Rock Dancer , 2:08.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke briefly at the start, losing ground.

Got the prize at Patterson Park two runs back then made it two on the trot with a win over 2500m at Reefton last time, scoring by 5 metres. Can maintain the solid form.

10-13 Cromwell 25Feb24 1800MS $13,228 R47 TO R50, R51 TO R55 WITH CO K K Tomlinson $12, btn 34.3m, wnr Insarchatwist , 2:10.50 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke in the score up checking a second line runner resulting in a false start being declared.

Won't find this as tough as last start when beaten 35 metres over 1800m at Cromwell. Expecting a much better run this time.

7-14 Rangiora 03Mar24 2600SS $11,903 R35 TO R47, R48 WITH COND. 3U B N Orange $4, btn 19.4m, wnr God Of Thunder , 2:04.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Won two starts ago at Rangiora then didn't measure up last time when beaten 19 metres over 2600m at Rangiora. Looks very hard to beat.

11-11 Addington 22Mar24 1980MS $16,703 R43 TO R47 3U G D Smith $21, btn 36.2m, wnr Flying Bird , 1:59.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke after 100m, losing ground. Lay in and raced inside a track marker near the 1300m. Broke again near the 200m, losing its chance.

Had a difficult draw last start and didn't make an impact when 11th at Addington over 1980m, beaten 35 metres. From a decent drawn is expected to do better this time.

99-12 Reefton 10Mar24 2500SS $15,500 R51 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN Jim Curtin $56, btn 267.3m, wnr Jimmy Arma , 2:06.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing all chance.

Last raced at Reefton on March 10 when he was disqualified. Overlook the last run. Looks ideally placed.

9-9 Addington 15Mar24 2000SS $16,108 UP TO & INCLUDING R54 3U G D Smith $46, btn 32.4m, wnr Audacity , 2:30.20 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay inwards rounding the final bend and momentarily placed an inside runner in restricted room near the 300m.

Safely held last time when 30 metres from the winner in ninth over 2000m at Addington. Won't find this easy. Not keen.
