Ran a much better race last start when second at this track over 2600m, beaten 23 metres. With even luck is a winning chance.

Again missed the placings last time out but was only 5.5 metres away in fourth over 2000m at this track. Finds the right race this time.

Scored a fine win at this track two starts ago then couldn't follow it up over 2000m at Addington last time, finishing 140 metres away from the winner. Can bounce back to form.

3-8 Ashburton Raceway 11May25 2400SS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 3U Stephen Mcnally $8, btn 3.8m, wnr Sheila Laxon , 2:05.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved to finish third over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway last time out on the back of a well-beaten sixth at this track the run prior. Sure to be in the mix.

Was in the money at this track two back then disappointed last time when 12th over 2000m at this track. Winning chance on her best form.

Has been down the track at her past two starts since winning at this track, the latest effort a eighth at Addington over 2000m. Best form puts her right in this.

10-12 Rangiora 04May25 2000SS $12,500 NON-WINNERS 3U John R Dunn $8, btn 66.7m, wnr Kashanova , 2:05.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened final bend.

Was safely held last time out in tenth over 2000m at this track, beaten 65 metres. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

1-12 Rangiora 04May25 2000SS $12,500 NON-WINNERS 3U Ben Hope $2, won by 2nd Billy Kimber , 2:05.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Terrific effort on debut last start to score at this track over 2000m by 3 metres. Awkwardly drawn but is likely to progress.

Saluted two starts ago at Addington then didn't back it up last time when beaten 40 metres over 2000m at Addington. Finding a few ahead of him.

Finished third over 2000m at this track last start after he was easily accounted for two back at Addington. Not likely to threaten this time.

5-8 Ashburton Raceway 11May25 2400SS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 3U John Versteeg $65, btn 45.1m, wnr Sheila Laxon , 2:05.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Slow in the early stages losing considerable ground. Lay inwards at various stages throughout causing driver J Versteeg some difficulty.

Finished 45 metres back in fifth at his latest outing over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Not keen.

Easily accounted for last time when 9 metres from the winner in fifth over 2000m at this track. This looks a far sterner test.

2-12 Rangiora 04May25 2000SS $12,500 NON-WINNERS 3U Sheree Tomlinson $10, btn 3.0m, wnr Kashanova , 2:05.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)
