Didn't do much at the last run, 11th (Sr3) over 1980m at Addington beaten 45 m by Double Jeopardy (2:23.30) in 3yo+ on November 14 at $52.70. Before that 12th (Sr5) over 1980m at Addington beaten 40 m by J T Boe (2:25.90) in 3yo+ on November 11 at $136.40. This looks a far sterner task.

2-12 Addington 14Nov25 2600MS $30,000 R40 TO R55 3U Robbie Holmes $8, btn 2.7m, wnr Haley Jaccka , 1:58.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay inwards and paced roughly as the start was effected hampering an inside runner. Again lay inwards and paced roughly when being restrained after 100m and made contact with the sulky wheel of Mr Cash Man which shifted outwards marginally with trailing runners being hampered.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.75 m second behind Haley Jaccka at Addington over 2600m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres third at Phar Lap Racecourse over 2850m in on October 26. Nicely drawn and expected to run a bold race again.

The run previous 10th (Fr7) over 1980m at Addington, beaten 35 m by Double Jeopardy (2:23.30) in 3yo+ on November 14 at $7.80. Last few short of his best but in the mix if on-song.

Last start won by 5 m (Fr8) at Ascot Park Raceway (2:38.00) beating Sky Patrol in on November 26 at $21.90. Should be there at the business end.

Big chance to find the winners' list.

5-10 Ascot Park Raceway 26Nov25 2200MS $11,580 R46 TO R60 Wilson House $9, btn 7.3m, wnr Deny Everything , 1:55.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced three wide until reaching the parked position passing the 1700m. The off-side boring pole came adrift near the 1650m.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr8) at Central Southland Raceway (2:57.20) beating Close in 3yo+ on November 16 at $1.70. Two runs back 2nd (Fr6) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, at the bell was 4th-7m 2WWC beaten 0.8 m by Still Rockin (2:57.70) on August 31 at $3.10. This looks a far sterner test.

7-14 Mt Harding 30Nov25 1609MS $25,875 FFA John R Dunn $23, btn 24.0m, wnr Esmeralda , 1:55.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced three wide with cover from the 700m.
