Ran a much better race last start when second at Ascot Park over 2200m, beaten 7 metres. With even luck is a winning chance.

Has been struggling of late, most recently finishing sixth over 2000m at Motukarara. Same draw this time and can do much better.

9-11 Addington 20Mar24 1980MS $9,825 R35 TO R45 M 4U Jonny Cox $43, btn 23.0m, wnr Elite Styx , 1:58.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a breaking runner rounding the final bend.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 23 metres when ninth over 1980m at Addington. Hard to have on those efforts.

10-13 Addington 20Mar24 2600MS $10,175 R35 TO R40 5U Blair Orange $47, btn 29.7m, wnr Bondi Lustre , 2:03.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Form average and it has been 16 runs since the last win. Last start finished tenth over 2600m at Addington. Form not inspiring.

1-10 Motukarara 17Mar24 2000MS $11,098 NON-WINNERS 4U Samantha Ottley $7, won by 2nd Wishful Thinking , 2:05.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Much better effort last time when he broke his maiden by 6 metres over 2000m at Motukarara. Can go back-to-back.

12-14 Motukarara 02Dec23 2000MS $11,385 R36 TO R39 3U G T Ward $10, btn 16.7m, wnr On Report , 2:36.20 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Locked wheels with an inside runner near the 100m.

First up since finishing 12th over 2000m at Motukarara four months ago. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.

Unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start but was only beaten 4 metres when fifth at Motukarara over 2000m. Certainly worth another chance.

Improved to finish second over 1980m at Addington last time out following a well-beaten eighth at Addington the run prior. Will be right in the thick of things.

3-14 Motukarara 17Mar24 2000MS $11,903 R35 TO R36 3U Robbie Close $19, btn 6.8m, wnr Hes Fast And Furious , 2:03.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Contacted the sulky tyre of Get It On near 400m.

Finished third over 2000m at Motukarara last start after she was unplaced two back at Reefton. Might find this beyond her.

6-11 Reefton 10Mar24 2450MS $11,790 R35 4U L F O'reilly $22, btn 52.9m, wnr Raging Whitebait , 2:05.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Form average and it has been 22 runs since the last win. Last start finished sixth over 2450m at Reefton. One to consider as his best is good enough.
