3-9 Addington 05Dec25 1980MS $17,055 R45 TO R54 3U Tim Williams $15, btn 3.0m, wnr Commander Joe , 1:56.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved last start when third at this track over 1980m, beaten 3 metres. One of the key runners.

8-9 Addington 05Dec25 1980MS $17,055 R45 TO R54 3U Robert Butt $66, btn 18.1m, wnr Commander Joe , 1:56.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Easily accounted for last time when 18 metres from the winner in eighth over 1980m at this track. Won't find this easy. Not keen.

5-12 Mt Harding 30Nov25 2400SS $12,500 R41 TO R50 4U E E Barron $7, btn 18.9m, wnr The Coalman , 2:02.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished fifth last start over 2400m at Mt Harding on the back of a win at Motukarara Raceway two runs back. Draws a little closer this time. Capable of playing a major role.

8-10 Wingatui 07Dec25 2200MS $13,510 R45 TO R50 3U Wilson House $19, btn 64.3m, wnr Insarchatwist , 2:00.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Safely held last time at the first run of the campaign when 65 metres from the winner in eighth over 2200m at Wingatui. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

7-14 Addington 14Nov25 1980MS $31,050 R46 TO R49 3U Samantha Ottley $8, btn 7.8m, wnr Captain Kobe , 1:56.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Hasn't raced since a disappointing seventh over 1980m at this track four weeks ago. This race appears well within his grasp.

1-15 Geraldine 06Dec25 1950SS $14,735 R35 TO R45 3U Blair Orange $4, won by 2nd Stylish Lustre , 2:04.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Scored over 1950m at Geraldine last time out after a plain effort at this track the start before. Sure to be in the mix.

8-11 Geraldine 06Dec25 2500SS $13,755 R46 TO R54 Samantha Ottley $3, btn 17.3m, wnr Semba , 2:06.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Saluted two starts ago at Mt Harding then didn't back it up last time when beaten 17 metres over 2500m at Geraldine. Sure to be there at the business end.

1-9 Phar Lap Raceway 03Dec25 2050MS $10,423 R35 TO R45 4U Mike Maynard $9, won by 2nd Lily's A Star , 2:00.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Briefly locked sulky stays with Onwardsandupwards after 150m. Raced wide early.

Comes here off a last-start win in easier company over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. Needs to go to another level.

3-11 Geraldine 06Dec25 2500SS $13,755 R46 TO R54 Sarah O'reilly $5, btn 6.5m, wnr Semba , 2:06.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Filled a minor placing two back at Mt Harding and maintained that form last start when third over 2500m at Geraldine. One of the chances.

4-11 Geraldine 06Dec25 2500SS $13,755 R46 TO R54 Gerard O'reilly $61, btn 7.6m, wnr Semba , 2:06.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has not been in the placings in two runs this time in work, the latest when 7 metres away in fourth over 2500m at Geraldine. Must improve sharply.

5-9 Addington 05Dec25 1980MS $18,003 R56 TO R60 Leo O'reilly $26, btn 13.0m, wnr J T Boe , 1:55.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has raced twice since resuming and failed to fill a top-three spot on either occasion, the latest when fifth over 1980m at this track, beaten 13 metres. Certainly worth another chance.

2-11 Geraldine 06Dec25 2500SS $13,755 R46 TO R54 Sheree Tomlinson $7, btn 5.1m, wnr Semba , 2:06.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)
