1-15 Mt Harding 26Jan25 1700SS $12,630 R35 TO R38 Amanda Tomlinson $6, won by 2nd Prince Ranier , 2:07.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Didn't measure up two runs ago at Waterlea but atoned last time when a winner by 1.4 metres over 1700m at Mt Harding. Can play a role in the finish again.

99-13 Riverton 26Jan25 2000SS $15,263 R35 TO R50 Hayden Douglas $5, btn 267.3m, wnr Justine Jaccka , 2:12.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing all chance and was retired from the race.

Pulled up last start over 2000m at Riverton. Forgive the recent mishap. Looks ideally placed.

8-10 Oamaru Raceway 22Jan25 2600SS $10,615 R45 TO R50 Samantha Ottley $22, btn 17.0m, wnr The Present Maker , 2:04.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened final bend.

Finished third at Phar Lap Raceway two starts back then couldn't repeat the dose over 2600m at this track last time, finishing 17 metres from the winner. Might find this a bit tough.

4-10 Oamaru Raceway 22Jan25 2000SS $9,650 WITH COND. Gerard O'reilly $46, btn 5.9m, wnr One Mhor For Heather , 2:04.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Did a reasonable job last start to finish fourth over 2000m at this track, beaten 6 metres. This looks a far sterner task.

1-10 Oamaru Raceway 22Jan25 2000SS $9,650 WITH COND. Robbie Holmes $24, won by 2nd Penelope Hall , 2:04.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Good effort last time to score by a neck over 2000m at this track. This looks a far sterner test.

4-10 Oamaru Raceway 22Jan25 2600SS $10,615 R45 TO R50 Tim Williams $9, btn 1.6m, wnr The Present Maker , 2:04.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Held up in the early and middle stages of the run home.

Recorded a nice win at Ashburton Raceway two runs back then missed the frame but wasn't disgraced last time out over 2600m at this track. Sure to play a major role.

2-13 Mt Harding 26Jan25 1700SS $12,210 R39 TO R50 Jonny Cox $16, btn 2.7m, wnr Paris Prince , 2:06.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been racing well with a couple of minor prizes to his name recently, the latest when runner-up, beaten 2.75 metres, over 1700m at Mt Harding. Winning claims.

6-10 Oamaru Raceway 22Jan25 2000SS $9,650 WITH COND. John Morrison $3, btn 6.8m, wnr One Mhor For Heather , 2:04.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Scored at Cromwell two back then less effective last time when sixth over 2000m at this track. Best form puts him right in this.

6-13 Mt Harding 26Jan25 1700SS $12,210 R39 TO R50 Ben Hope $12, btn 15.4m, wnr Paris Prince , 2:06.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been just behind the placegetters at her last few starts, most recently when sixth at Mt Harding over 1700m, beaten 15 metres. Among the major players.

1-13 Waterlea 19Jan25 2400SS $13,228 WITH COND. Sheree Tomlinson $6, won by 2nd Call Dudley , 2:10.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Turned her form around dramatically last time to score by 10 metres over 2400m at Waterlea. Tricky draw but among the main hopes again.

6-10 Oamaru Raceway 22Jan25 2600SS $10,615 R45 TO R50 Matthew Williamson $16, btn 7.3m, wnr The Present Maker , 2:04.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished 7 metres back in sixth at his latest run over 2600m at this track. A better run is on the cards.

4-7 Ascot Park Raceway 29Jan25 2200SS $10,038 WITH COND. 3U Matthew Williamson $8, btn 14.9m, wnr Pyramid Rose , 2:04.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke racing into the first bend losing ground. Hampered by a breaking runner in the middle stages of the run home.

Was safely held last time out in fourth first-up over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 14 metres. Not keen on her chances in this field.
