Last start 8th (Fr5) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 50 m by Father Ned (3:10.30) in 3yo+ on December 14 at $58.80. Two runs back 6th (Fr5) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway beaten 70 m by Crusher Clyde (3:07.60) in 3yo+ on November 16 at $139.90. This looks a far sterner task.

Been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 2nd (Fr4) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway beaten 5 m by Father Ned (3:10.30) in 3yo+ on December 14 at $13.30. Might find this a bit tough.

9-12 Central Southland Raceway 14Dec25 2400SS $11,000 R35 TO R40 3U Alex Milne $77, btn 34.0m, wnr Errol D , 2:04.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing considerable ground.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Fr1) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 35 m by Errol D (3:06.00) in 3yo+ on December 14 at $76.90. Before that 6th (Fr9) over 2200m at Wingatui beaten 35 m by Tillaberi (2:53.80) in 3yo+ on December 7 at $86.20. Hard to have on those efforts.

6-12 Central Southland Raceway 14Dec25 2400SS $11,000 R35 TO R40 3U A K Black $38, btn 16.5m, wnr Errol D , 2:04.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start 6th (Fr7) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 16 m by Errol D (3:06.00) in 3yo+ on December 14 at $38.10.

1-10 Wingatui 07Dec25 2200SS $14,475 NON-WINNERS 3U W D O'connell $12, won by 2nd Bacardi Doll , 2:14.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Began awkwardly. Lay outwards racing into the first bend. Raced greenly in the run home and lay outwards briefly near the 150m dictating Bacardi Doll slightly wider on the track.

Last start won by a 0.8 m (Fr1) at Wingatui (3:03.80) beating Bacardi Doll in 3yo+ on December 7 at $12.30. Expected to measure up again.

7-14 Ascot Park Raceway 19Dec25 2700SS $25,875 R40 TO R59 3U Robert Butt $25, btn 31.6m, wnr Nubliah Chamay , 2:06.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start 7th (Fr9) over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway beaten 30 m by Nubliah Chamay (3:32.60) in 3yo+ on December 19 at $24.50. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Fr6) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 4.5 m by Errol D (3:06.00) in 3yo+ on December 14 at $5.70. Best form puts him right in this.

8-12 Central Southland Raceway 14Dec25 2400SS $11,000 R35 TO R40 3U Brent Barclay $30, btn 28.6m, wnr Errol D , 2:04.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Second up after running 8th (FrU2) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 30 m by Errol D (3:06.00) in 3yo+ on December 14 at $30.10. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

1-14 Mt Harding 18Dec25 2400SS $8,280 WITH COND. Lawrence Mccormick $4, won by 2nd Amistozo , 2:12.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Going well. Last start won a big 4 m win (Fr11) at Mt Harding (3:17.80) beating Amistozo in on December 18 at $4.30. In form now and can go on with it.

11-12 Wingatui 07Dec25 2200SS $12,000 R38 TO R45 3U Kerryn Tomlinson $5, btn 191.2m, wnr Nubliah Chamay , 2:07.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start hampering outside runners losing all chance.

Last start 11th (Fr1) over 2200m at Wingatui, well beaten by Nubliah Chamay (2:54.60) in 3yo+ on December 7 at $5.30. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Fr7) over 2600m at Oamaru, at the bell was 2nd-3.8m on the pegs beaten 2.75 m by Snooowgood (3:25.70) in 3yo+ on November 27 at $9.70. Very hard to beat.

2-12 Central Southland Raceway 14Dec25 2400SS $11,000 R35 TO R40 3U Brad Williamson $6, btn 0.8m, wnr Errol D , 2:04.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced through the middle stages when leading. Lay out in the middle stages of the home straight. Lay out again late in the run home and shifted out abruptly over the concluding stages hampering an outside and trailing runner.

Second-up here following a spell. Game effort when 2nd (FrU5) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway beaten 0.8 m by Errol D (3:06.00) in 3yo+ on December 14 at $6.30. Fitter and should play a big role.
