Turned in a nice run two back then missed the placings last time when 55 metres adrift over 1980m at Addington. Others are preferred.

10-10 Geraldine 06Dec25 1950SS $13,510 NON-WINNERS 3U Kerry Hadfield $10, btn 165.5m, wnr D J's Gamble , 2:10.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing all chance.

Failed to feature two runs back then last start was a well-beaten tenth over 1950m at Geraldine, 165 metres from the winner. Has the task ahead.

99-10 Oamaru 10Dec25 2000SS $11,580 NON-WINNERS 2U Michael Heenan $19, btn 267.3m, wnr Amistozo , 2:15.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke near the 100m losing ground.

Last raced at Oamaru on December 10 when she failed to finish. Prefer to see her perform well before recommending.

5-11 Oamaru 10Dec25 2000SS $10,808 3U Samantha Ottley $6, btn 13.8m, wnr Our Evie Rae , 2:14.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Struck several track markers entering the first bend. Hampered by a breaking runner near the 1150m.

Form only moderate and has been without a win now for eight runs. Last start finished fifth over 2000m at Oamaru. One to consider as her best is good enough.

3-3 Ashburton Raceway 16Dec25 2400SS Trail Mia Holbrough btn 4.75m, wnr LILY'S A STAR , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished 20 metres back in seventh at her latest run over 2000m at Oamaru. Unlikely to threaten.

9-10 Addington 12Dec25 1980MS $19,300 R45 TO R60 FM 3U Sarah O'reilly $45, btn 51.6m, wnr Dash Dosh , 2:00.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened in the run home.

Scored a fine win at Oamaru two starts ago then couldn't follow it up over 1980m at Addington last time, finishing 50 metres away from the winner. A big run would not surprise.

3-11 Oamaru 10Dec25 2000SS $10,808 3U Sam Thornley $9, btn 8.9m, wnr Our Evie Rae , 2:14.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been racing well this campaign. Good effort when third last time out over 2000m at Oamaru. Leading player.

6-10 Addington 21Nov25 1980MS $135,100 F 3 Ricky May $43, btn 38.1m, wnr Dash Dosh , 1:59.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a breaking runner racing into the first bend. Lay inwards leaving the final bend and locked wheels with Have A Little Faith losing ground.

Won't find this as tough as last start when beaten 40 metres over 1980m at Addington. Can make amends.

5-10 Addington 21Nov25 1980MS $135,100 F 3 Brad Williamson $31, btn 32.1m, wnr Dash Dosh , 1:59.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Out of position at the start despite the efforts of driver B Williamson. Lay outwards leaving the final bend and continued to shift up the track in the run home hampering an outside runner.

Has been out of the money at her last couple since winning over 2600m at Oamaru three back. Well placed to bounce back.

4-10 Addington 21Nov25 1980MS $135,100 F 3 Nathan Williamson $21, btn 31.6m, wnr Dash Dosh , 1:59.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a breaking runner racing into the first bend. Lay outwards and locked wheels with Atlantic City leaving the final bend losing ground.

Was a winner two back at this track then couldn't back it up last time when 30 metres away in fourth at Addington over 1980m. Serious player on best form.

4-12 Central Southland Raceway 14Dec25 2400SS $11,000 R35 TO R40 3U Kirstin Green $3, btn 5.7m, wnr Errol D , 2:04.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered by a breaking runner rounding the first bend. Hampered again over the concluding stages.

Missed the placings last start but was only beaten 5.5 metres when fourth over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway. Nicely placed to make an impact this time.
