Didn't make an impact last time when 12th at Ashburton Raceway over 2400m. That run followed a minor placing two runs back at Mt Harding. Among the main chances.

2-9 Oamaru 11Dec24 2000SS $11,370 NON-WINNERS 3U Sheree Tomlinson $12, btn 14.9m, wnr Ari On Safari , 2:08.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced early and middle stages.

Made an encouraging return last start when he was second at Oamaru over 2000m, beaten 14 metres. Will strip much fitter. Sure to run well.

7-13 Phar Lap Raceway 03Apr23 2050SS $9,158 NON-WINNERS 3U Gerard O'reilly $13, btn 19.7m, wnr Shepherds Delight , 2:02.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Tangled away.

First up since finishing seventh over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway 21 months ago. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.

9-10 Ashburton Raceway 22Dec24 1700MS $11,580 NON-WINNERS 3U John Morrison $7, btn 28.6m, wnr Flying For Me , 1:56.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been struggling of late, most recently finishing ninth over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Same draw this time and can do much better.

No form available.

Filly from the Regan Todd yard on debut. Has the right profile for a strong performance.

No form available.

Gelding by Downbytheseaside from Silk Rose on debut. Despite the draw he is a winning chance.

10-10 Ashburton Raceway 22Dec24 1700MS $11,580 NON-WINNERS 3U Sam Thornley $55, btn 140.7m, wnr Flying For Me , 1:56.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened rounding the final bend.

Comes here off a last-start tenth over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway, beaten 140 metres. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

No form available.

Gelding from the R A Kennedy yard on debut. Profiles well and despite the draw is expected to measure up.

5-10 Ashburton Raceway 22Dec24 1700MS $11,580 NON-WINNERS 3U Brent Weaver $52, btn 10.8m, wnr Flying For Me , 1:56.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished 10 metres back in fifth at her latest run over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Hard to have on those efforts.

Returns from a eight months spell without the benefit of a public trial. Will be better for the hitout.

5-8 Addington 17Dec24 2000SS $7,440 NON-WINNERS 3U Stephen Mcnally $6, btn 18.1m, wnr Kawactus , 2:05.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing considerable ground.

Was ordinary when 18 metres away in fifth most recently at his first run back from a spell over 2000m at Addington. Can improve enough to play a big role.

4-10 Ashburton Raceway 22Dec24 1700MS $11,580 NON-WINNERS 3U Gerard O'reilly $16, btn 4.1m, wnr Flying For Me , 1:56.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third at Oamaru two starts ago then couldn't repeat the dose over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway last time but she was only 4 metres off the winner. Can bounce back to form.

16-16 Ashburton Raceway 18Apr24 2400SS $12,305 NON-WINNERS 3U Sarah O'reilly $95, btn 270.0m, wnr Sister Love , 2:04.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start, losing all chance.

Was in the money for the first time latest run when a 12 metres third at Addington over 2600m. Likely to be in the mix again.

6-14 Motukarara 30Nov24 2000MS $12,938 NON-WINNERS FM 3U Kerry Hadfield $58, btn 17.8m, wnr Zarlini , 2:04.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished 17 metres back in sixth at her latest outing over 2000m at this track. Others make more appeal.

No form available.

Three-year-old filly from the R G Anderson stable having her first start. Yet to be spotted at the trials. Will benefit from this raceday experience.

8-8 Addington 17Dec24 2000SS $7,440 NON-WINNERS 3U Anj Mugford $38, btn 84.5m, wnr Kawactus , 2:05.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Slow to begin. Broke near the 1400m when reacting poorly to being restrained after becoming awkwardly placed to the inside of Howie Robyn losing ground. Over-raced and lay inwards near the 700m having to be steadied. Weakened final bend.

Was lining up for just the second time when out of the money last start over 2000m at Addington, beaten 85 metres. Has the task ahead.
