Finished 35 metres away in fifth over 2000m at Oamaru when making his debut a week ago. Watch for sharp improvement.

Finished just 8 metres back in fifth at his latest outing over 1950m at Rangiora. Big chance based on that latest run.

Improved to finish third over 1950m at Rangiora most recently following a mediocre 11th at this track the run prior. Looks very hard to beat.

7-11 Rangiora 06Feb25 1950SS $11,299 NON-WINNERS 3U John Versteeg $39, btn 18.4m, wnr Tessamae , 2:14.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been in sound form lately with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest a second over 2400m at Waterlea. Racing well and expected to run boldly.

Improved to finish third over 2000m at Oamaru last start following a mediocre fourth at Ascot Park Raceway the run prior. Sure to be thereabouts.

Backs up two weeks since finishing a close third on debut over 2400m at this track, beaten 3.5 metres. Winning prospects.

7-15 Mt Harding 26Jan25 2400SS $12,630 NON-WINNERS John R Dunn $24, btn 27.8m, wnr Bodacious , 2:13.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke near the 500m and lay inwards when attempting to be shifted clear of the field by driver J Dunn and then lay outwards hampering trailing runners losing ground.

Won't find this as tough as last start when beaten 30 metres over 2400m at this track. Can make amends.

3-5 Addington 31Jan25 1980MS $13,163 NON-WINNERS MOBILE 3U Samantha Ottley $2, btn 34.8m, wnr Playoffs , 2:03.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke in the score up losing ground. Broke again near the 1000m losing ground. Hung inwards and trotted roughly final bend.

Made significant improvement last start when third at Addington over 1980m, beaten 35 metres. Top chance in this line-up.

8-15 Mt Harding 26Jan25 2400SS $12,630 NON-WINNERS Anj Mugford $101, btn 40.0m, wnr Bodacious , 2:13.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Checked by a breaking runner racing into the first bend. Hampered by a breaking runner near the 1100m.

Not a threat last start when eighth over 2400m at this track, beaten 40 metres. Not keen on her chances in this field.

6-9 Oamaru 11Dec24 2000SS $11,370 NON-WINNERS 3U John Morrison $3, btn 27.3m, wnr Niamh , 2:22.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Began awkwardly and then broke shortly after the start, shifting out abruptly checking and hampering outside runners and losing considerable ground. Broke again near the 150m losing all chance.

Was well found in betting last start but could only manage sixth over 2000m at Oamaru. Has the task ahead.

8-9 Oamaru 02Feb25 2000SS $11,370 NON-WINNERS 3U Jonny Cox $62, btn 278.1m, wnr Brother Johnson , 2:14.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke passing the 1650m losing considerable ground. Broke again near the 1100m losing all chance.

Continued some plain form when a poor eighth at Oamaru over 2000m a week ago. Hard to make a case.

6-9 Oamaru 02Feb25 2000SS $11,370 NON-WINNERS 3U Ray Jenkins $95, btn 56.4m, wnr Brother Johnson , 2:14.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke early in the run home losing all chance.

Not a threat last start when sixth over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 55 metres. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Was safely held last time out in ninth over 1950m at Rangiora, beaten 45 metres. This looks a far sterner test.
