Was a winner two back at Rangiora then could only manage a midfield finish last time over 2700m at Ascot Park. Drawn well and can do much better.

12-14 Motukarara 17Mar24 2170SS $11,903 R35 TO R50 FM 3U Samantha Ottley $10, btn 72.9m, wnr Paige , 2:07.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke rounding the final bend hampering trailing runners.

Finished 75 metres back in 12th at her latest run over 2170m at Motukarara. Must do a lot more.

2-14 Motukarara 17Mar24 2170SS $11,903 R35 TO R50 FM 3U J J A Young-Grant $13, btn 7.8m, wnr Paige , 2:52.20 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Improved to finish second over 2170m at Motukarara last time out on the back of a well-beaten fourth at Reefton the run prior. Big chance to find the winners' list.

4-9 Ascot Park 09Mar24 2200SS $10,423 R35 TO R50 3U O A Kite $4, btn 8.4m, wnr Jordan Anne , 2:53.20 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been outside the top three recently, last time out finishing fourth over 2200m at Ascot Park. Can do much better from the same draw.

6-9 Reefton 10Mar24 2500SS $11,370 R40 TO R49 INV.DRV 4U Olivia Thornley $13, btn 37m, wnr Sods Law , 2:09.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay outwards at various stages throughout. Hampered final bend by a weakening runner.

Safely held last time when 35 metres from the winner in sixth over 2500m at Reefton. Won't find this easy. Not keen.

5-14 Motukarara 17Mar24 2170SS $11,903 R35 TO R50 CGH Gavin Smith $8, btn 4.3m, wnr Sods Law , 2:08.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke briefly at the start.

Again missed the placings last time out but was only 4.5 metres away in fifth over 2170m at Motukarara. Capable of a lot more.

4-11 Addington 15Mar24 2600SS $16,703 R39 TO R49 3U M J Williamson $16, btn 4.6m, wnr Night Watch , 3:23.50 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Wasn't too far away when fourth over 2600m at Addington last start, beaten 4.5 metres. Form at this circuit from three visits is solid. Likely to measure up again.

4-14 Motukarara 17Mar24 2170SS $11,903 R35 TO R50 FM 3U P J Wakelin $9, btn 10.5m, wnr Paige , 2:07.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished fourth last start over 2170m at Motukarara, 10 metres from the winner. Capable of a better showing.

3-11 Addington 15Mar24 2600SS $16,703 R39 TO R49 3U T M Williams $6, btn 4.3m, wnr Night Watch , 2:05.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Held up rounding the final bend.

Racing well without winning, making it two minor placings in a row last start when third over 2600m at Addington, beaten 4.5 metres. One of the primary contenders.

6-8 Cromwell 25Feb24 2600SS $14,880 R35 TO R50 C R Williamson $7, btn 35.6m, wnr Fiery Bandito , 2:08.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Briefly hampered by a breaking runner near the 700m.

Had been racing well before a last-start sixth at Cromwell over 2600m. Likely to measure up this time.

9-11 Wyndham 16Mar24 2400SS $14,738 R35 TO R63 SPECIAL J C Morrison $11, btn 30.2m, wnr Sally Lindenny , 3:06.20 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Didn't make an impact last time when ninth at Wyndham over 2400m. That run followed a minor placing two runs back at Ascot Park. Can bounce back.

3-11 Wyndham 16Mar24 2400SS $14,738 R35 TO R63 SPECIAL C R Ferguson $11, btn 8.1m, wnr Sally Lindenny , 3:06.20 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Ran third over 2400m at Wyndham last time, beaten 8 metres. That was his third placing, alongside a win, from the past five starts. Form sound and expected to measure up.

10-14 Gore 18Feb24 1900SS $10,350 R35 TO R50 SPECIAL S E O'reilly $51, btn 74.8m, wnr Imperial Man , 2:13.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke passing the 200m.

Easily accounted for last time when 75 metres from the winner in tenth over 1900m at Gore. Won't find this easy. Not keen.

Continued a long run of outs when beaten 55 metres at Addington over 2600m four days ago. Cannot enthuse.
