7-8 Oamaru 11Dec24 2000SS $9,300 R35 TO R45 Brad Williamson $48, btn 14.0m, wnr Ebury Street , 2:06.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start hampering an outside runner and losing ground.

Continued a long run of outs when beaten 14 metres at Oamaru over 2000m three weeks ago. Not keen.

10-10 Addington 17Dec24 1980MS $7,720 R35 TO R39 4U Kimberly Butt $44, btn 27.3m, wnr Vrilo , 2:00.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide from the 800m.

Was plain when 25 metres away in tenth most recently at her first run back from a layoff over 1980m at Addington. Must do a lot more.

2-10 Addington 17Dec24 1980MS $7,720 R35 TO R39 4U Robbie Close $6, btn 7.0m, wnr Vrilo , 2:00.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Bounced back last start when second at Addington over 1980m, beaten 7 metres. Leading player.

9-11 Gore Raceway 27Dec24 1700MS $11,790 F&M R35 TO R45, WITH COND. 2U Peter Hunter $16, btn 18.1m, wnr Shezza Vinny , 1:56.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Form average and it has been six runs since the last win. Last start finished ninth over 1700m at Gore Raceway. Form not inspiring.

12-14 Ascot Park Raceway 20Dec24 2200MS $25,875 R40 TO R44 3U John R Dunn $12, btn 79.9m, wnr Ebury Street , 1:58.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened final bend hampering trailing runners.

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished 12th last time out over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, 80 metres from the winner. Deserves another chance.

2-14 Ascot Park Raceway 20Dec24 2200MS $25,875 R40 TO R44 3U Matthew Williamson $5, btn 10.3m, wnr Ebury Street , 1:58.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

In-form of late including a last start second over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Looks very hard to beat.

2-11 Gore Raceway 27Dec24 1700MS $11,790 F&M R35 TO R45, WITH COND. 2U Wilson House $13, btn 0.5m, wnr Shezza Vinny , 1:56.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Commendable effort last time when resuming to finish half a metre from the winner in second over 1700m at Gore Raceway. Won't find this as easy. Not keen.

6-12 Ascot Park Raceway 20Dec24 2200MS $25,000 F 2 Matthew Williamson $67, btn 43.2m, wnr Spicey Crunch , 1:57.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished 45 metres back in sixth at her latest appearance over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Hard to have on those efforts.

4-8 Addington 04Dec24 1980MS $7,440 R35 TO R50 AMATEUR DRIVERS 4U Michael House $9, btn 7.0m, wnr Classie Linc , 2:01.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced middle stages.

Won two back at Manawatu then couldn't repeat the dose last time out when fourth over 1980m at Addington, beaten 7 metres. Well-placed in this contest. Strong contender.

13-13 Mt Harding 01Dec24 2400SS $12,719 R35 TO R50 3U Ricky May $41, btn 159.6m, wnr Heaven , 2:04.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke entering the first bend checking a trailing runner losing all chance.

Form average and it has been seven runs since the last win. Last start finished 13th over 2400m at Mt Harding. One to consider as her best is good enough.

6-11 Ashburton Raceway 22Dec24 1700MS $11,299 R40 TO R50 FM 2U Gerard O'reilly $145, btn 11.3m, wnr Katherine , 1:54.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Easily accounted for last time when 11 metres from the winner in sixth over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

8-8 Addington 09Aug24 1980MS $13,950 R44 TO R50 3U Blair Orange $21, btn 61.6m, wnr Betterthancash , 1:58.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened from the 600m after racing parked.

Last raced at Addington five months ago when he finished eighth, beaten 60 metres over 1980m. Can play a role in the finish.

5-13 Ascot Park Raceway 20Dec24 2200MS $25,438 R45 TO R50 Craig Ferguson $7, btn 2.7m, wnr Tabasco , 2:01.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Unplaced two runs back then again missed the placings last start but was only beaten 2.75 metres when fifth at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.

1-14 Ascot Park Raceway 20Dec24 2200MS $20,700 NON-WINNERS 3U Brad Williamson $8, won by 2nd Dallas Dale , 2:00.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early until reaching the parked position near the 1200m.

Overcame a second-row draw last time to score by 3.5 metres over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Strong winner last time and can make it back-to-back.
