Comes here second-up after two-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 11th (Fr2) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 16 m by Always Be Bootie (2:42.90) in 3yo+ on November 26 at $95.50. Must do a lot more.

1-10 Ascot Park Raceway 19Nov25 2200MS $9,650 R37 TO R40 N B Kyle $21, won by 2nd Haley Robyn , 1:59.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Brings the right form to the table. Won by a 0.5 m (Fr2) at Ascot Park Raceway (2:43.80) beating Haley Robyn in on November 19 at $21.10. Two runs back 5th (Fr3) over 2400m at this track beaten 7 m by Bowlem Over (2:56.80) on November 16 at $28.50. Not as keen on her chances in this line-up.

6-10 Wingatui 07Dec25 2200MS $12,545 R39 TO R44 3U Max Hill $26, btn 21.9m, wnr Flashpoint , 2:01.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start 6th (Fr6) over 2200m at Wingatui beaten 21 m by Flashpoint (2:45.40) in 3yo+ on December 7 at $25.50. At his previous start 8th (Fr1) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway beaten 7 m by Always Be Bootie (2:42.90) in 3yo+ on November 26 at $49.60. Should be at peak fitness and can turn things around.

2-11 Oamaru 10Dec25 2000MS $11,790 R43 TO R50 Sheree Tomlinson $25, btn 3.8m, wnr Take The Miki , 2:04.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved last start with a game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 4 m by Take The Miki (2:34.80) on December 10 at $24.60. Winning claims.

5-10 Wingatui 07Dec25 2200MS $13,510 R45 TO R50 3U Matthew Williamson $38, btn 18.1m, wnr Insarchatwist , 2:00.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 2200m at Wingatui, beaten 18 m by Insarchatwist (2:44.50) in 3yo+ on December 7 at $37.50. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.75 m (Fr1) at this track (2:56.80) beating Robyns Hustler in on November 16 at $3.40. In the mix on the form from two back.

5-12 Ascot Park Raceway 26Nov25 2200MS $11,000 R42 TO R45 3U D G Anderson $7, btn 4.1m, wnr Always Be Bootie , 1:59.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke briefly in the score up. Lay in under pressure over the concluding stages simultaneous to an inside runner laying out, being briefly placed in restricted room and unable to be fully driven out by driver D Anderson in consequence.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fifth behind Always Be Bootie at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 1.4 metres second at this track over 1609m in 4yo+ on November 9. Rates highly and expected to be in the finish.

Last start 9th (Sr3) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway beaten 11 m by Always Be Bootie (2:42.90) in 3yo+ on November 26 at $24.10. Two runs back won by a neck (Fr3) at this track (1:55.60) beating Rakamick in 3yo on November 9 at $15.90. Has the job ahead.

Last start 10th (Fr6) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 14 m by Always Be Bootie (2:42.90) in 3yo+ on November 26 at $56.10. Two runs back won by 3.5 m as favourite (Sr2) at this track (1:56.20) beating Cold Pursuit in on November 16 at $2.50. Facing a tough assignment.

6-7 Oamaru 27Nov25 2600SS $9,125 R35 TO R45 Riley Harrison $9, btn 26.7m, wnr Bannockburn , 2:03.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (10m 1) over 2600m at Oamaru beaten 25 m by Bannockburn (3:19.00) on November 27 at $9. Before that 5th (Fr7) over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway, beaten 14 m by Elton J (2:03.10) in 3yo+ on November 13 at $77.60. Not fancied.

2-10 Wingatui 07Dec25 2200MS $12,545 R39 TO R44 3U Matthew Williamson $13, btn 0.3m, wnr Flashpoint , 2:01.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Sr4) over 2200m at Wingatui beaten a neck by Flashpoint (2:45.40) in 3yo+ on December 7 at $13.10. With further improvement can go one better.

6-10 Wingatui 07Dec25 2200MS $13,510 R45 TO R50 3U Max Hill $14, btn 37.8m, wnr Insarchatwist , 2:00.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start 6th (Fr8) over 2200m at Wingatui, beaten 40 m by Insarchatwist (2:44.50) in 3yo+ on December 7 at $14.40. Before that, 6th (Fr1) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway beaten 8 m by Deny Everything (2:38.00) on November 26 at $8.80. Expected to do much better this time.

1-13 Ascot Park Raceway 26Nov25 2200MS $10,175 R35 3U Kerryn Tomlinson $5, won by 2nd Superfast , 1:59.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 2.75 m (Fr4) at Ascot Park Raceway (2:43.60) beating Superfast in 3yo+ on November 26 at $4.60. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

4-10 Wingatui 07Dec25 2200MS $12,545 R39 TO R44 3U Brad Williamson $14, btn 19.2m, wnr Flashpoint , 2:01.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)
