Continued a long run without winning when tenth at Addington over 1980m last time out. This looks far too tough.

9-14 Rangiora 06Feb25 1950MS $12,938 WITH COND. Kyle Cameron $96, btn 18.4m, wnr Lonnekers , 2:02.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not a threat last start when ninth over 1950m at Rangiora, beaten 18 metres. This looks a far sterner test.

Was sub-par last time when sixth over 1850m at Waterlea after drawing poorly. Has a low draw this time and can improve.

Is on the quick back-up after finishing third, beaten 7 metres at Rangiora just three days ago. Worth following up.

Is closing in on a win after placing at two of the last three runs, the latest effort a third at Addington over 1980m, beaten 12 metres. Overdue and expected to be prominent.

8-10 Rangiora 06Feb25 2600SS $12,786 R35 TO R57 SPECIAL Samantha Ottley $30, btn 14.3m, wnr Country Gold , 2:09.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished eighth last start over 2600m at Rangiora, 14 metres from the winner. A better run is on the cards.

8-13 Rangiora 06Feb25 1950MS $13,482 R39 TO R50 Jim Curtin $11, btn 20.5m, wnr Hi Hopes , 2:01.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened rounding the final bend.

Finished eighth at Rangiora last start over 1950m but his form prior to that run was sound. Rates highly and expected to bounce back.
