4-13 Addington 14May25 1980MS $10,175 NON-WINNERS MR40 TO MR45 4U Craig Thornley $20, btn 11.9m, wnr Speed Writer , 2:01.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hung outwards in the score up and was out of position at the start. Held up leaving the final bend.

Is yet to find form this time in work, the latest effort a fourth at Addington over 1980m, beaten 11 metres. Fitter now and looks tough to beat from the pegs.

2-12 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050MS $12,000 NON-WINNERS 3U Jim Curtin $10, btn 3.5m, wnr Lochdarragh , 2:00.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Turned in a solid effort on debut last start when runner-up, finishing 3.5 metres from the winner over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. Nicely drawn and open to improvement.

8-13 Rangiora 18May25 2600SS $12,210 NON-WINNERS 3U Ricky May $47, btn 9.2m, wnr Rena , 2:04.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Fair effort on debut last start when eighth at Rangiora over 2600m starting at $47.10. Likely improver who is in the mix.

No form available.

Gelding from the T D Cross yard on debut. Profiles nicely and is expected to measure up.

6-12 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050MS $12,000 NON-WINNERS 3U Kerryn Tomlinson $69, btn 23.0m, wnr Lochdarragh , 2:00.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke shortly after the start losing ground. Over-raced middle stages.

Failed to raise backers' hopes when resuming last start, finishing sixth at Phar Lap Raceway over 2050m and beaten 23 metres. Will take a lot from that run; in the mix.

10-12 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050MS $12,000 NON-WINNERS 3U Riley Harrison $93, btn 50.2m, wnr Lochdarragh , 2:00.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early. Weakened rounding the final bend hampering a trailing runner.

Easily accounted for last time at the first run of the campaign when 50 metres from the winner in tenth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

13-13 Rangiora 04May24 2000MS $12,719 NON-WINNERS MOBILE 3U B J Wilmott $58, btn 204.4m, wnr Chicago Bear , 1:57.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hung outwards in the score up and was out of position at the start despite the efforts of driver B Wilmott. Hung outwards badly passing the 1100m, hampering trailing runners losing all chance.

Has not trialled since his last run 13 months ago at Rangiora when 13th. Maybe later.

3-12 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050MS $12,000 NON-WINNERS 3U Samantha Ottley $10, btn 7.0m, wnr Lochdarragh , 2:00.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Kicked off his career last start with a third, beaten 7 metres, over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. Has to contend with an awkward draw but is a likely improver.

4-12 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050MS $12,000 NON-WINNERS 3U Matthew Williamson $34, btn 12.2m, wnr Lochdarragh , 2:00.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Has been outside the top three recently, last time out finishing fourth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. Can improve sharply.

9-12 Addington 30May25 1980MS $15,000 NON-WINNERS 3U N M Burton $151, btn 44.0m, wnr Bettor Off , 1:59.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here off a last-start ninth over 1980m at Addington, beaten 45 metres. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

9-9 Addington 30May25 1980MS $16,108 R40 TO R48 WITH COND. N M Burton $251, btn 206.8m, wnr Kotare Kelso , 1:58.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Didn't do a lot when resuming last start, finishing ninth at Addington over 1980m and beaten 205 metres. Needs to lift.

7-12 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050MS $12,000 NON-WINNERS 3U Sam Thornley $47, btn 24.6m, wnr Lochdarragh , 2:00.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Held up by a weakening runner rounding the final bend.

Not a threat last start when seventh over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway, beaten 24 metres. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

8-12 Phar Lap Raceway 25May25 2050MS $12,000 NON-WINNERS 3U Tim Williams $39, btn 30.8m, wnr Lochdarragh , 2:00.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide from the 1000m.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 30 metres when eighth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. This looks far too tough.

7-9 Addington 28Feb25 1980MS $15,160 NON-WINNERS MOBILE 3U Jonny Cox $27, btn 37.8m, wnr Captain Commodore , 1:59.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hung outwards in the score up and was out of position at the start.

First up since finishing seventh over 1980m at Addington three months ago. One of the primary contenders.
