Was disqualified last start at this track on January 31. Prepared to overlook until his racing manners improve.

5-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2100SS $20,000 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY Wilson House $17, btn 2.2m, wnr Barbarossa , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Did a reasonable job last start to finish fifth over 2100m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. This looks a far sterner task.

2-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2100SS $20,000 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY David Butcher $9, btn 0.8m, wnr Barbarossa , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Swung sideways prior to the barriers being released crowding an inside runner and broke briefly.

Backs up quickly after finishing second over 2100m at this track just a couple of days ago. Worth following up.

1-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2100SS $20,000 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY Zev Meredith $57, won by 2nd Louezyana , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Saluted two starts ago at Cambridge Raceway then kept the outstanding form going last time when he got home by 0.8 metres over 2100m at this track. Sure to be there at the business end.

8-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2100SS $20,000 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY Kristina Denifostova $23, btn 5.4m, wnr Barbarossa , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Held up throughout the run home.

Finished second at Cambridge Raceway two starts back then missed the frame but wasn't far away last start over 2100m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.

7-12 Cambridge Raceway 24Jan25 2200MS $35,000 UP TO & INCLUDING R64 3U Todd Mitchell $54, btn 9.5m, wnr Two Eye See , 1:57.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Near the 300m, lay in despite the efforts of Driver T Mitchell.

Recorded a nice win at Cambridge Raceway two runs back then missed the placings but wasn't disgraced last time out over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway. Prefer others on this occasion.

1-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2000MS $11,500 R45 TO R52 3U Crystal Hackett $5, won by 2nd The Next Best Thing , 2:05.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was a gutsy winner just a couple of days ago over 2000m at this track. Top chance again.

9-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2100SS $20,000 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY Robbie Close $6, btn 6.2m, wnr Barbarossa , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Displayed poor barrier manners again at the restart hampering Boudica.

Has been down the track since a minor placing at Waterlea three runs back, most recently finishing ninth at this track over 2100m. Best form puts him right in this.

99-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2100SS $20,000 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY Sailesh Abernethy $13, btn 267.3m, wnr Barbarossa , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was disqualified last start at this track on January 31. Prefer to see him perform well before recommending.

4-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2100SS $20,000 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY Matthew White $13, btn 1.4m, wnr Barbarossa , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Scored over 1700m at Cambridge Raceway three starts back but has missed the frame since, the latest effort a fourth over 2100m at this track. Bold showing expected.

Was beaten 1.1 metres into third last start over 2100m at this track. That was her third placing, alongside a win, from the past five starts. Major player.

7-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2100SS $20,000 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY Tony Cameron $8, btn 3.2m, wnr Barbarossa , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third at Cambridge Raceway two starts ago then couldn't repeat the dose over 2100m at this track last time but he was only 3 metres off the winner. Winning claims.

10-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2100SS $20,000 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY Todd Macfarlane $8, btn 8.4m, wnr Barbarossa , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Locked wheels with an outside runner shortly after the start losing considerable ground. Held up over the final stages.

Scored a nice win at Cambridge Raceway two runs back then missed the top-three but wasn't beaten all that far last time out over 2100m at this track. Looks very hard to beat.

6-12 Hawera 31Jan25 2100SS $20,000 R50 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY Crystal Hackett $11, btn 3.0m, wnr Barbarossa , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Missed the frame last time out over 2100m at this track but was not too far away, finishing sixth and only 3 metres from the winner. Rates highly and expected to go well.
