Last start won by 15 m (Fr5) at Motukarara Raceway (2:53.50) beating Senior Constable Liz in 3yo+ on November 23 at $2.10. This race will be harder than that win. Not as keen on his chances in this field.

Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr6) over 2000m at Rangiora beaten 60 m by Tyrons Strapping Lad (2:30.50) in 3yo+ on November 20 at $29.70. Hard to make a case in this field.

10-13 Motukarara Raceway 23Nov25 2170SS $11,193 R40 TO R43 3U Olivia Thornley $5, btn 27.5m, wnr Koko Kaboom , 2:06.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Will be right in the thick of things.

Last start won a big 3 m win (Fr12) at Motukarara Raceway (2:53.40) beating Go Home Denise in 3yo+ on November 23. Looks hard to beat again.
