6-7 Addington 02May25 2600MS $18,250 R46 TO R49 Sam Thornley $25, btn 43.2m, wnr Esmarelda , 1:58.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Is yet to hit the frame this campaign, the latest result a sixth, beaten 45 metres, over 2600m at this track. Should be at peak fitness now and can feature off the inside draw.

2-9 Addington 30Apr25 2600SS $7,580 UP TO R40 WITH COND. Leo O'reilly $4, btn 0.3m, wnr Buddy Reign , 2:05.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Produced a better effort last start when second at this track over 2600m, beaten a neck. Hard to beat.

1-11 Addington 30Apr25 2000SS $7,860 NON-WINNERS 4U Carter Dalgety $7, won by 2nd Swift Guy , 2:07.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by an easing of the pace near the 1600m.

Returned from a spell last start with a win at this track over 2000m, scoring by 1.4 metres. Has to be respected.

5-9 Addington 07May25 1980MS $7,580 WITH COND. Samantha Ottley $11, btn 17.0m, wnr Shake A Leg , 1:58.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced when racing wide early. Held up final bend. Placed in restricted room passing the 100m.

Finished fifth over 1980m at this track last time out to continue a run of very steady form. Should be involved on his recent form.

4-9 Addington 30Apr25 2600SS $7,580 UP TO R40 WITH COND. N M Burton $17, btn 7.3m, wnr Buddy Reign , 2:05.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Struggling to find form and has been out of the winners' list at his last 31 runs. Last start finished fourth over 2600m at this track. Cannot enthuse.

13-13 Ashburton Raceway 11May25 2400MS $12,719 R35 TO R39 MOBILE 5U Kyle Cameron $34, btn 73.7m, wnr Judine , 1:59.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Easily accounted for last time when 75 metres from the winner in 13th over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
