Failed to measure up again last start when eighth over 1850m at Waterlea, beaten 19 metres. Needs to lift.

4-13 Ashburton Raceway 14Jan25 2400SS $10,175 R35 TO R50 SPECIAL Ben Hope $10, btn 1.4m, wnr Biggles , 2:00.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start but was only beaten 1.4 metres when fourth at Ashburton Raceway over 2400m. Can make amends.

6-12 Addington 24Jan25 1980MS $15,000 WITH COND. JUN.DRV 4U Carter Dalgety $26, btn 11.9m, wnr Shard De Arch , 1:59.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced passing the 1600m and again passing the 1200m after a slight easing of the pace having to be steadied.

Won two runs ago at Oamaru then didn't measure up last time when beaten 11 metres over 1980m at Addington. Facing a tricky assignment.

8-11 Ascot Park Raceway 20Dec24 1700MS $29,475 F 3 John Morrison $62, btn 31.1m, wnr Wallflower , 1:55.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here off a last-start eighth over 1700m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 30 metres. This looks a far sterner test.

1-10 Mt Harding 26Jan25 2400SS $11,580 NON-WINNERS 3U Sam Thornley $7, won by 2nd Times Like These , 2:09.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Won two back at Motukarara then couldn't repeat the dose last time out when third over 1980m at Addington, beaten 7 metres. Has a more favourable draw. Capable of playing a major role.

1-9 Oamaru Raceway 22Jan25 2000MS $9,475 R41 TO R46 Tim Williams $2, won by 2nd Lord Fantasy , 2:00.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced middle stages. Held up final bend and early in the run home.

Improved sharply last start to return winning form by a neck over 2000m at this track. Great chance to make it two in a row.
