2-8 Riverton 26Jan25 2800SS $18,600 R50 TO R65 SPECIAL Brad Williamson $4, btn 2.2m, wnr Bobbies Rock , 2:07.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing ground.

Finished second last start over 2800m at Riverton on the back of a win at Ascot Park Raceway two runs back. Draws a little better. Strong contender.

7-14 Mt Harding 26Jan25 2400SS $12,938 R35 TO R55 DISCRETIONARY Kimberly Butt $6, btn 13.8m, wnr Style Council , 2:06.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Again failed to figure last start when beaten 13 metres into seventh at Mt Harding over 2400m. Experiencing a long win drought. Prefer others.

3-13 Waterlea 19Jan25 2850SS $25,438 R55 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN Ben Hope $60, btn 4.9m, wnr Wild Willow , 2:05.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third last time out over 2850m at Waterlea, beaten 5 metres. Has a good record here, with four wins from 11 starts. Likely to run well.

1-12 Cromwell 06Jan25 2600SS $20,000 R55 TO R90 SPECIAL Blair Orange $16, won by 2nd Deny Everything , 2:03.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Got the prize at Omakau two runs back then made it two on the trot with a win over 2600m at Cromwell last time, scoring by a neck. Facing a more difficult assignment.

6-7 Addington 24Jan25 1980MS $18,250 R60 TO R75, R76 TO R85 WITH CO Wilson House $26, btn 16.7m, wnr We Walk By Faith , 2:00.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Disappointed last start when sixth at Addington over 1980m but his form prior to that was solid. Great chance to bounce back.

1-11 Riverton 26Jan25 1940MS $13,755 R48 TO R55 R J Gutsell $15, won by 2nd Muchacho , 2:03.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Out of position at the candy pole. Raced three wide with cover from the 1000m.

Scored last time in an easier race over 1940m at Riverton, getting home by a neck. Others have better credentials.

3-6 Ascot Park Raceway 16Jan25 2700SS $35,800 R65 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN Kimberly Butt $5, btn 12.2m, wnr One Change , 2:01.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third most recently over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway to continue the solid recent form. Will be about the money again.

5-13 Waterlea 19Jan25 2850SS $25,438 R55 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN Samantha Ottley $4, btn 10.0m, wnr Wild Willow , 2:05.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Shifted outwards shortly after the start and contacted Wild Willow which broke briefly.

Scored two starts ago at Waterlea then didn't measure up last time when beaten 10 metres over 2850m at Waterlea. Sure to be there at the business end.

1-6 Ascot Park Raceway 16Jan25 2700SS $35,800 R65 & FASTER DISCRETIONARY HAN Blair Orange $2, won by 2nd Nutcracker , 2:01.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Registered a minor placing two starts back then a win two-and-a-half weeks ago by 5.5 metres over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway. Looks hard to beat again.
