Was ordinary when 50 metres away in 12th most recently at her first run back from a layoff over 1980m at Addington. Watch for a spike in form.

1-14 Rangiora 15Dec24 1950MS $12,938 R35 TO R36 3U Blair Orange $4, won by 2nd Anytime At All , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Found winning form last start with a victory over 1950m at Rangiora after a good second the run before. Going well and is expected to measure up again.

3-12 Oamaru 11Dec24 2000MS $9,000 R35 TO R42 3U Seth Hill $6, btn 4.1m, wnr Wavewatcher , 2:07.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Briefly placed in restricted room and struck a track marker rounding the first bend when an outside runner lay inwards. Held up over the concluding stages.

Ran a much better race last start when third at Oamaru over 2000m, beaten 4 metres. Top chance in this line-up.

Finished second at Geraldine two starts back then missed the top-three but wasn't far away last time out over 1950m at Rangiora. Winning prospects.

13-13 Motukarara 01Apr24 2000MS $11,701 R35 TO R39 3U John R Dunn $16, btn 39.2m, wnr Vrilo , 2:02.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered near the 250m when an inside runner shifted outwards.

Returns from a nine months spell without the benefit of a public trial. Might need some time.

8-10 Addington 17Dec24 1980MS $7,720 R35 TO R50 AMATEUR DRIVERS 4U D A C Roberts $63, btn 197.6m, wnr Stickifingers , 2:02.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Out of position at the start. Severely checked by a breaking runner near the 500m losing all chance.

Has not been racing well, including a poor effort last time when a long way back in eighth over 1980m at Addington. Needs to lift.

12-14 Rangiora 15Dec24 1950MS $12,938 R37 TO R43 3U Gerard O'reilly $29, btn 26.2m, wnr Santanna Mach , 2:01.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here off a last-start 12th over 1950m at Rangiora, beaten 25 metres. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Has been struggling of late, most recently finishing fifth over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.

4-13 Ashburton Raceway 22Dec24 2400MS $10,175 R35 TO R39 3U Seth Hill $6, btn 10.8m, wnr My Ten Guitars , 1:59.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Form average and it has been nine runs since the last win. Last start finished fourth over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Winning claims on best figures.

Finished third at this track two starts ago then couldn't repeat the dose over 1950m at Rangiora last time but she was only 5 metres off the winner. Will make her presence felt.
