Was sub-par last time when seventh over 1980m at Addington after drawing poorly. Better than the latest run and from a low draw gets her chance to bounce back.

6-11 Rangiora 15Dec24 1950MS $12,281 R44 TO R50 3U Carter Dalgety $5, btn 9.2m, wnr Stephs Boy , 2:01.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced early stages. The boring pole detached late in the run home.

Has not been in the money in two runs this campaign, the latest when 9 metres away in sixth over 1950m at Rangiora. Capable of a better showing.

Easily accounted for last time when 16 metres from the winner in seventh over 1980m at Addington. Won't find this easy. Not keen.

10-11 Addington 13Dec24 2600MS $16,703 R40 TO R51 3U Terry Chmiel $50, btn 22.1m, wnr Bettor Be Sharp , 2:02.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was safely held last time out in tenth over 2600m at Addington, beaten 22 metres. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Finished 16 metres back in sixth at her latest appearance over 1980m at Addington. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

5-10 Addington 13Dec24 2600MS $17,370 R52 TO R60 3U Tim Williams $7, btn 7.6m, wnr Cardi B , 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished fifth at Addington over 2600m last start following a win at Mt Harding the start prior. Worth another chance.

Has been racing well, last time out finding one better when 5.5 metres away over 2000m at Oamaru. Sure to go well again.

3-10 Addington 13Dec24 2600MS $17,370 R52 TO R60 3U Ricky May $13, btn 5.4m, wnr Cardi B , 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay outwards when over-racing in the early stages.

Finished third over 2600m at Addington last start, beaten 5.5 metres. That was his second placing, alongside a win, from the past five starts. Form sound and expected to measure up.

1-11 Rangiora 15Dec24 1950MS $12,281 R44 TO R50 3U Blair Orange $6, won by 2nd Sky Rocket , 2:01.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Looked good in winning last start by 1.1 metres over 1950m at Rangiora. In form and sure to prove very hard to beat.

Was mediocre when 14 metres away in fourth most recently at his first run back from a spell over 2600m at Rangiora. Expect to see a much better run.

Has not trialled since his last outing four months ago at Addington. Is a first-up winner previously. Can open the campaign with a forward performance.

4-8 Oamaru 11Dec24 2000MS $10,230 R50 TO R55, R56 TO R60 WITH CO Olivia Thornley $5, btn 7.0m, wnr Always B There , 2:07.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Won two back at Addington then couldn't repeat the dose last time out when fourth over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 7 metres. Well-placed in this contest. Strong contender.
