Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following November 20 run. Last start posted a big 8 m win (Fr1) at Phar Lap Raceway (3:33.40) beating Just Charlie in 4yo+ on December 3 at $11.50. This race will be harder than that win. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Lines up again after a break of eight months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when tenth at very big odds behind Clotilde Wainwright. Prefer later in the prep.

4-11 Oamaru 10Dec25 2000SS $10,808 3U Robbie Holmes $14, btn 12.7m, wnr Our Evie Rae , 2:14.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

7-15 Geraldine 06Dec25 2500SS $14,735 R35 TO R39 3U Leo O'reilly $22, btn 37.0m, wnr Lookslikeatrixter , 2:08.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)
