Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth behind Follow Your Dream at Addington over 1980m in a M on September 19 at $41.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Patiro at Mt Harding over 2300m in a 3yo+ on October 5 at $9.30. Rates highly. A big run would not surprise.

Last start won by 2 m (Fr6) at Addington (2:27.80) beating Fear Gogh in 3yo+ on September 19 at $3.20. In form and should feature in the finish again.

Having his second run back from a spell. Game effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 2300m at Mt Harding beaten 2.75 m by Candy Cane (3:13.10) on October 5 at $8.40. Can find the frame again.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Sr2) over 2300m at Mt Harding beaten 5.5 m by Magical Max (3:13.10) in 3yo+ on October 5 at $71.40. Before that 12th (Fr3) over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway beaten 30 m by Wavewatcher (2:35.20) in 4yo+ on September 28 at $34. This looks a far sterner task.

5-9 Rangiora 02Oct25 2000SS Trail Brent Borcoskie btn wnr MIDNIGHT MIKI , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

First up. At the last run he 5th (Fr1) over 1980m at Addington, beaten 40 m by Bar Louie (2:23.70) in 3yo on June 13 at $27.70. One of the better chances.

4-6 Ashburton Raceway 30Sep25 2400SS Trail John Morrison btn 0.1m, wnr SWEET RAINE , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 6th (Fr4) over 1850m at Waterlea beaten 18 m by Copenhagen Girl (2:22.70) on January 17 at $27.80. Will be better for this run and happy to watch this time.

4-13 Mt Harding 05Oct25 2300MS $12,719 R35 TO R39, R40 WITH COND. 3U Olivia Thornley $16, btn 5.1m, wnr Magical Max , 2:15.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Four-year-old gelding who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 4th (Sr1) over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway, beaten 13 m by Wavewatcher (2:35.20) in 4yo+ on September 28 at $8.10. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Began her campaign last start running 6th (Sr3) over 2300m at Mt Harding beaten 13 m by Patiro (3:20.30) in 3yo+ on October 5 at $12.60. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

7-10 Mt Harding 05Oct25 2300MS $12,063 R40 TO R44 3U Carter Dalgety $38, btn 18.6m, wnr Patiro , 2:20.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced middle stages.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Sr1) over 2300m at Mt Harding, beaten 18 m by Patiro (3:20.30) in 3yo+ on October 5 at $37.50. Not fancied.

7-11 Addington 08Oct25 1980MS $7,860 R35 TO R40 5U Olivia Thornley $11, btn 15.4m, wnr Carrera Tranquilo , 1:58.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)
