Finished fourth last start over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway on the back of a win at Addington two runs back. Draws a little better. Strong contender.

8-10 Addington 15Apr25 1980MS $7,720 UP TO R45 WITH COND. John R Dunn $8, btn 20.5m, wnr Don Juan , 1:59.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Paced roughly near the 100m having to be steadied by driver J Dunn.

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Missed out two starts back then was a distant eighth last time out over 1980m at Addington. Finds the right race this time.

14-14 Addington 16May25 2600MS $31,050 R35 TO R51 MOBILE 5U Terry Chmiel $67, btn 132.6m, wnr Zarlini , 1:59.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened from the 700m hampering trailing runners.

Not a threat last start when 14th over 2600m at Addington, beaten 135 metres. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

10-13 Rangiora 18May25 2000SS $12,210 R35 TO R45, WITH COND. 3U Robbie Holmes $54, btn 39.4m, wnr Waikaka , 2:02.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was plain when 40 metres away in tenth most recently at her first run back from a layoff over 2000m at Rangiora. Not this time.

7-8 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050MS $10,230 WITH COND. Matthew Williamson $11, btn 23.8m, wnr Cheer The Captain , 2:00.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced greenly early and middle stages.

Failed to threaten two runs back then last start was a well-beaten seventh over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway, 23 metres from the winner. Capable of bouncing back.

7-9 Rangiora 18May25 2600MS $11,844 R35 TO R40 5U Terry Chmiel $12, btn 14.3m, wnr Not Over , 2:01.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been struggling of late, most recently finishing seventh over 2600m at Rangiora. Has ability and can do much better.

3-9 Rangiora 18May25 2600MS $11,844 R35 TO R40 5U S D Iremonger $39, btn 5.7m, wnr Not Over , 2:01.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Tried hard last time to finish 5.5 metres from the winner in third over 2600m at Rangiora. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

6-9 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050SS $10,423 R35 TO R45 3U Jim Curtin $9, btn 18.4m, wnr Super Fund , 2:01.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Disappointed last start when sixth at Phar Lap Raceway over 2050m but her form prior to that was solid. Expected to be in the finish.

9-9 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050SS $10,423 R35 TO R45 3U Blair Orange $11, btn 54.0m, wnr Super Fund , 2:01.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened final bend.

Has raced twice this prep and failed to threaten on either occasion, the latest when ninth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway a week ago. Expecting a much better run this time.

6-7 Rangiora 04May25 2000MS $22,813 WITH COND. Samantha Ottley $17, btn 24.3m, wnr Spirit Downunder , 1:57.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been outside the top three recently, last time out finishing sixth over 2000m at Rangiora. Better than last start and can improve sharply.

6-13 Rangiora 18May25 2000SS $12,210 R35 TO R45, WITH COND. 3U John Morrison $10, btn 15.1m, wnr Waikaka , 2:02.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been outside the top three recently, last time out finishing sixth over 2000m at Rangiora. Can do much better.

8-8 Addington 23May25 2600MS $23,250 R40 TO R55 FM 3U Robbie Close $39, btn 78.8m, wnr Music Mistress , 1:59.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened final bend.

Continued some plain form when a mediocre eighth at Addington over 2600m nine days ago. Hard to have.

5-9 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050SS $10,423 R35 TO R45 3U Samantha Ottley $5, btn 17.3m, wnr Super Fund , 2:01.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke briefly at the start losing ground.

Finished third at Rangiora two starts back then couldn't repeat the dose over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway last time, finishing 17 metres from the winner. Looks very hard to beat.

8-9 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050SS $10,423 R35 TO R45 3U John Morrison $34, btn 20.0m, wnr Super Fund , 2:01.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was safely held last time out in eighth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway, beaten 20 metres. Won't find this easy. Not keen.
