Continued a long run without winning when sixth at Addington over 1980m last time out. Wait until the form picks up.

3-4 Ashburton Raceway 16Dec25 2400SS Trail B A Waldron btn 4.25m, wnr PLAYOFFS , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished second at Geraldine two starts back then couldn't repeat the dose over 2000m at Oamaru last time, finishing 320 metres from the winner. Might find this a bit tough.

7-10 Addington 12Dec25 1980MS $19,300 R45 TO R60 FM 3U Olivia Thornley $19, btn 17.6m, wnr Dash Dosh , 2:00.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Trotted roughly in the score up.

Finished third at Phar Lap Raceway two starts back then couldn't repeat the dose over 1980m at Addington last time, finishing 17 metres from the winner. Not keen this time.

14-15 Rangiora 14Dec25 2600SS $13,156 R41 TO R50 3U Riley Harrison $11, btn 462.0m, wnr Wilma's Boy , 2:09.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start hampering trailing runners losing all chance.

Was safely held last time out in 14th over 2600m at Rangiora, beaten 460 metres. This looks a far sterner test.

3-12 Central Southland Raceway 14Dec25 2400SS $13,000 R41 TO R70 Brent Barclay $36, btn 6.8m, wnr Mixed Faith , 2:03.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway last start after she was easily accounted for two back at Oamaru. Can play a role in the finish again.

7-16 Geraldine 06Dec25 2500SS $14,980 R40 TO R50 3U D D Mccormick $31, btn 22.4m, wnr Tyrons Strapping Lad , 2:05.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke briefly at the start losing ground.

Recorded a fine win at Mt Harding two starts ago then couldn't follow it up over 2500m at Geraldine last time, finishing 22 metres away from the winner. Hard to enthuse.

8-18 Oamaru 10Dec25 2000SS $13,260 R35 TO R60 3U C R Williamson $20, btn 17.3m, wnr Franco Josiah , 2:07.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Failed to threaten two runs back then last start was a well-beaten eighth over 2000m at Oamaru, 17 metres from the winner. Others make more appeal.

4-10 Addington 12Dec25 1980MS $19,300 R45 TO R60 FM 3U Sam Thornley $6, btn 8.9m, wnr Dash Dosh , 2:00.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a breaking runner shortly after the start. Raced wide early before being restrained to the rear of the field near the 1500m.

Finished 8 metres back in fourth at her latest appearance over 1980m at Addington. Watch for a spike in form.

3-11 Addington 12Dec25 2000SS $17,194 R45 TO R55 4U Wilson House $9, btn 6.8m, wnr One Over Da Line , 2:02.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Is ready to win, finishing in the money at two of her last three, the latest when third over 2000m at Addington. Overdue and expected to be prominent.

2-11 Rangiora 14Dec25 2600SS $19,650 R51 Ben Hope $8, btn 0.5m, wnr Rachmaninov , 2:07.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not a bad run at the latest outing when second over 2600m at Rangiora, beaten half a metre. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

5-9 Addington 05Dec25 1980MS $18,003 R46 TO R60 John Morrison $19, btn 8.4m, wnr Princess Sadie , 1:59.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay outwards and trotted roughly in the run home.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 8 metres when fifth over 1980m at Addington. Others make more appeal.

6-11 Rangiora 14Dec25 2600SS $19,650 R51 Samantha Ottley $6, btn 24.6m, wnr Rachmaninov , 2:07.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has missed the frame but not been too far away last few, most recently finishing sixth at Rangiora over 2600m. Is a genuine threat.

1-9 Geraldine 06Dec25 2500SS $18,950 R51 3U John R Dunn $3, won by 2nd Premium Player , 2:03.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) The near side number detached during the running.

Chases the hat-trick of wins after scoring last start over 2500m at Geraldine, getting home by 13 metres. Looks very hard to beat.

5-13 Alexandra Park 12Dec25 2200MS $101,750 FFA FM 3U Nathan Williamson $7, btn 18.9m, wnr Ya Rite Darl , 2:00.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide final bend.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 18 metres when fifth over 2200m at Alexandra Park. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.

12-18 Oamaru 10Dec25 2000SS $13,260 R35 TO R60 3U Hayden Douglas $6, btn 26.5m, wnr Franco Josiah , 2:07.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished runner-up two starts back at Wingatui then missed the frame last start over 2000m at Oamaru. Has the job ahead.
