Was below his best last time when seventh over 2000m at Oamaru after finishing in the money two back at Ashburton Raceway. Rates highly and can atone.

Last raced at Mt Harding five-and-a-half months ago when he finished 16th, beaten 40 metres over 2400m. Solid top-three prospects.

1-12 Mt Harding 08Sep24 1609MS $12,000 NON-WINNERS Riley Harrison $66, won by 2nd Melton Magnate , 2:02.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here off a last-start win over 1609m at Mt Harding, getting home by 7 metres. Won't find this as easy. Not keen.

Resumed last start and proved too strong over 2400m at Mt Harding, getting the verdict by 5 metres. Prefer others on this occasion.

Missed the placings last start but was only beaten 6 metres when fourth over 2400m at Mt Harding. Good signs last start and this looks a suitable contest.

Placed three back at Addington but hasn't shown that sort of form since, the latest effort a sixth at Mt Harding over 2400m, beaten 8 metres. Among the chances on his best form.

Form only moderate and has been without a win now for eight runs. Last start finished eighth over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Capable of going a lot better.

Finished fourth last time out over 1609m at Mt Harding, beaten 14 metres. Handles this circuit well. Likely to measure up again.

Won't find this as tough as last start when beaten 22 metres over 2600m at Addington. Capable of taking this out.

6-10 Mt Harding 08Sep24 1609MS $10,615 R35 4U Robbie Holmes $5, btn 10.5m, wnr Sweet Spirit , 2:02.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay inwards rounding the first bend striking several track markers.
