Trots ATX Motukarara - NZ

1-11 Mt Harding 09Feb25 2400SS $11,299 R35 TO R37 Ben Hope $6, won by 2nd Silverlinings , 2:09.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay inwards and struck a track marker near the 1700m.

Was a $6 chance last time and got the job done by 2.75 metres over 2400m at Mt Harding. Draws to advantage and expected to go well again.

9-11 Addington 07Feb25 1980MS $17,685 UP TO & INCLUDING R50 Craig Thornley $31, btn 12.7m, wnr Majesdix , 2:00.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Failed to measure up when ninth last start over 1980m at Addington. This will fully test.

2-13 Oamaru 02Feb25 2000SS $12,210 R35 TO R43 3U Blair Orange $4, btn 1.4m, wnr Prince Ranier , 2:08.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Turned in a better effort last time over 2000m at Oamaru, finishing runner-up and only 1.4 metres from the winner. Among the chances again.

10-11 Hawera 02Feb25 2100SS $19,650 R45 TO R68 DISCRETIONARY Stephanie Burley $17, btn 128.5m, wnr High Energy , 2:06.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Near the 400m hampering trailing runners losing all chance.

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished tenth last time out over 2100m at Hawera, 130 metres from the winner. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.

12-13 Mt Harding 26Jan25 1700SS $12,210 R39 TO R50 Chris Thornley $31, btn 102.3m, wnr Paris Prince , 2:06.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Trotted roughly before weakening leaving the final bend.

Comes here off a last-start 12th over 1700m at Mt Harding, beaten 100 metres. This looks a far sterner test.

5-13 Mt Harding 26Jan25 1700SS $12,210 R39 TO R50 John R Dunn $5, btn 14.9m, wnr Paris Prince , 2:06.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third at Addington two starts back then couldn't repeat the dose over 1700m at Mt Harding last time, finishing 14 metres from the winner. Solid top-three prospects.

1-9 Oamaru 11Dec24 2000SS $11,370 NON-WINNERS 3U Samantha Ottley $5, won by 2nd Monaro Meg , 2:22.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has not trialled since her last appearance ten weeks ago. Maybe later.

9-10 Mt Harding 09Feb25 2400SS $11,098 R38 TO R50 Sheree Tomlinson $12, btn 54.5m, wnr Torvi , 2:11.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a breaking runner near the 200m.

Finished 55 metres back in ninth at his latest outing over 2400m at Mt Harding. Expecting a better run this time.

6-10 Roxburgh 04Jan25 2200SS $11,580 R42 TO R50 Mia Holbrough $4, btn 9.5m, wnr Bullit Train , 2:05.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke briefly at the start.

Finished sixth at Roxburgh last start over 2200m but her form prior to that run was sound. Rates highly and expected to bounce back.

7-15 Rangiora 06Feb25 1950SS $13,156 WITH COND. Olivia Thornley $14, btn 16.2m, wnr Solemn Son , 2:09.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was safely held last time out in seventh over 1950m at Rangiora, beaten 16 metres. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

1-11 Mt Harding 26Jan25 2400SS $11,790 WITH COND. JUNIOR DRIVERS RATI Sam Thornley $4, won by 2nd Transtasman Bubble , 2:12.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Continues to race well with a couple of wins and a minor placing from the last three outings, most recently scoring over 2400m at Mt Harding by 2.25 metres. Expected to feature in the finish again.

3-12 Rangiora 06Feb25 1950SS $12,500 R35 TO R60 & DISCRETIONARY FM Sheree Tomlinson $9, btn 1.6m, wnr High Step , 2:05.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third over 1950m at Rangiora last start, beaten 1.5 metres. That was her fourth placing, alongside a win, from the past eight starts. Genuine threat.

12-16 Addington 31Jan25 2600SS $17,120 R35 TO R50 DISCRETIONARY G N Thornley $8, btn 61.3m, wnr One El , 2:04.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early. Hampered by a breaking runner near the 1400m. Weakened final bend.

Not a threat last start when 12th over 2600m at Addington, beaten 60 metres. Not keen on her chances in this field.
