Finished third at this track two starts back then couldn't repeat the dose over 2200m at Alexandra Park last time, finishing 13 metres from the winner. Solid top-three prospects.

9-10 Manawatu 01May25 2500SS $19,300 R36 TO R59 DISCRETIONARY Kristina Denifostova $52, btn 176.6m, wnr Kd Royalty , 2:06.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing all chance.

Has not threatened in two runs this time in work, the latest a 175 metres ninth over 2500m at Manawatu. Not going well enough.

Finished third at this track two runs ago then franked that effort with a win last time over 2200m at this track, scoring by half a metre. One of the better chances.

Was safely held last time out in seventh over 2700m at this track, beaten 60 metres. Won't find this easy. Not keen.

Filled a minor placing two back at this track and maintained that form last start when second over 2200m at this track. Sure to feature.

Has missed the frame but not been too far away last few, most recently finishing fifth at Alexandra Park over 2200m. Among the major players.

5-6 Alexandra Park 30May25 2200MS $17,900 UP TO & INCLUDING R75 Taitlyn Hanara $19, btn 25.9m, wnr High Energy , 2:02.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) broke at the start losing considerable ground. A warning was placed on the gelding's barrier manners. Weakened final turn. Driver T Hanara reported that she sustained a punctured sulky tyre near the 500m. It was established that HIGH ENERGY had contacted the wheel when CASTANA shifted in marginally entering the turn. Stewards were satisfied that neither driver were solely at fault and took the matter no further.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 25 metres when fifth over 2200m at Alexandra Park. Capable of a lot more.

9-9 Alexandra Park 23May25 2200MS $18,950 R50 TO R54 3U Luk Chin $133, btn 28.9m, wnr Higher Power , 2:02.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide until reaching the parked position near the 1500m. Weakened early in the run home.

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished ninth most recently over 2200m at Alexandra Park, 30 metres from the winner. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.
