3-8 Mt Harding 09Feb25 2300MS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 4U Gerard O'reilly $11, btn 10.5m, wnr Sweet Glory , 2:06.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been in solid form this campaign, including a win and three minor placings. Last start finished third over 2300m at Mt Harding. Expected to be in the finish against a moderate field.

7-8 Addington 07Feb25 1980MS $13,950 NON-WINNERS MOBILE 3U Carter Dalgety $56, btn 27.0m, wnr A Girl Named Vinny , 2:01.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered near the 1100m. Weakened in the run home.

Finished 25 metres away in seventh over 1980m at Addington when making his debut nine days ago. Solid top-three prospects.

8-13 Rangiora 06Feb25 1950MS $11,701 NON-WINNERS FM 3U Seth Hill $24, btn 10.0m, wnr Chocolate Crunch , 2:04.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Held up rounding the final bend.

Finished just 10 metres back in eighth at her latest outing over 1950m at Rangiora. This looks a nice race.

2-8 Mt Harding 09Feb25 2300MS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 4U John R Dunn $2, btn 2.2m, wnr Sweet Glory , 2:06.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Is yet to miss the frame in three lifetime runs, most recently finishing second and beaten 2.25 metres at Mt Harding over 2300m. Same draw this time and looks one of the main hopes again.

5-9 Addington 31Jan25 2600SS $14,213 NON-WINNERS 3U Robert Butt $5, btn 13.8m, wnr Sans Repos , 2:02.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing ground.

Was mediocre when 13 metres away in fifth most recently at his first run back from a spell over 2600m at Addington. Expect a much better run this time.

5-8 Rangiora 06Feb25 1950MS $10,695 NON-WINNERS 3U Riley Harrison $57, btn 29.4m, wnr Lasa , 2:04.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Continued some plain form when a mediocre fifth at Rangiora over 1950m a week-and-a-half ago. Unlikely to threaten.

11-13 Rangiora 06Feb25 1950MS $11,701 NON-WINNERS FM 3U Brian Zampese $46, btn 46.2m, wnr Chocolate Crunch , 2:04.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke after 200m when placed in restricted room after runners either side shifted ground marginally losing ground. Weakened final bend.

Comes here off a last-start 11th first-up over 1950m at Rangiora, beaten 45 metres. Won't find this easy. Not keen.

4-8 Mt Harding 09Feb25 2300MS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 4U Robert Anderson $45, btn 25.7m, wnr Sweet Glory , 2:06.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished 25 metres back in fourth at her latest appearance over 2300m at Mt Harding. Others make more appeal.

9-13 Rangiora 06Feb25 1950MS $11,701 NON-WINNERS FM 3U John Morrison $15, btn 25.4m, wnr Chocolate Crunch , 2:04.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has drawn tricky gates at last couple and been out of the placings, the latest effort a ninth over 1950m at Rangiora. Hasn't drawn the best again but expected to atone.

8-8 Rangiora 06Feb25 1950MS $10,695 NON-WINNERS 3U Ricky May $31, btn 123.7m, wnr Lasa , 2:04.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke shortly after the start losing all chance.

Was lining up for just the second time when out of the money last start over 1950m at Rangiora, beaten 125 metres. Must do a lot more.
