5-12 Mt Harding 13Apr25 2400SS $12,500 R35 TO R44 INV.DRV 4U Kimberly Butt $29, btn 20.8m, wnr Aveross Majesty , 2:08.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Continued some plain form when a poor fifth at Mt Harding over 2400m six days ago. Must do a lot more.

Was safely held last time out in seventh over 2500m at Manawatu, beaten 55 metres. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

3-7 Addington 09Apr25 2000SS $7,300 R35 TO R40 5U John Morrison $9, btn 2.2m, wnr Five Monkeys , 2:05.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished 425 metres back in 12th at her latest appearance over 2400m at Mt Harding. Capable of a better showing.

Continued a long run of outs when ninth, 55 metres from the winner, at Mt Harding over 2400m six days ago. Can improve sharply.

Has been outside the top three recently, last time out finishing fourth over 2600m at Rangiora. Among the leading chances on best form.

Continued a long run of outs when eighth, 35 metres from the winner, at Mt Harding over 2400m six days ago. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

2-13 Addington 11Apr25 2600SS $18,824 R40 TO R49 3U Tim Williams $22, btn 2.7m, wnr Moses , 2:05.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Found one better last start over 2600m at this track off the back of a win at Phar Lap Racecourse two runs ago. Among the top chances again.

5-13 Addington 11Apr25 2600SS $18,824 R40 TO R49 3U Jessica Young-Grant $18, btn 8.9m, wnr Moses , 2:05.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished just 8 metres back in fifth at her latest outing over 2600m at this track. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 12 metres when eighth over 2600m at this track. Rates highly in this line-up.

1-9 Manawatu 08Apr25 2500SS $10,896 DISCRETIONARY 3U Wilson House $3, won by 2nd Whats Up The Hill , 2:09.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Slow to begin then broke shortly after the start but soon settled.

Brought up a hat-trick of wins last time when he got home by 2.5 metres over 2500m at Manawatu. Should be in the finish again.

10-13 Addington 11Apr25 2600SS $18,824 R40 TO R49 3U Nathan Williamson $6, btn 21.1m, wnr Moses , 2:05.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 21 metres when tenth over 2600m at this track. Others make more appeal.

Has been about the mark lately, the latest effort a third, beaten 5.5 metres, over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Sure to go well again.

4-13 Addington 11Apr25 2600SS $18,824 R40 TO R49 3U Sheree Tomlinson $12, btn 6.5m, wnr Moses , 2:05.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not a threat last start when fourth over 2600m at this track, beaten 6 metres. This looks a far sterner task.

12-12 Mt Harding 13Apr25 2400SS $12,500 R35 TO R44 INV.DRV 4U Sheree Tomlinson $36, btn 185.2m, wnr Aveross Majesty , 2:08.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)
