Was a much better run last time finishing second at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m, beaten 5.5 metres. One of the key runners.

9-14 Ascot Park Raceway 15Jan26 2200MS $12,420 R40 TO R46 Andrew Armour $51, btn 22.7m, wnr Anita Mary , 1:59.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Ran below par last time when ninth over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway but her form prior to that was sound. Nicely drawn and can bounce back.

6-9 Ascot Park Raceway 16Oct25 2200MS $10,423 R39 TO R41 3U Brad Williamson $17, btn 12.2m, wnr Rakamick , 2:01.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

First up since finishing sixth over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway three-and-a-half months ago. Can play a role in the finish.

Was safely held last time out in 12th over 2000m at Omakau, beaten 115 metres. This looks a far sterner task.

4-14 Cromwell 06Jan26 1800MS $12,420 R38 TO R40 3U Mark Hurrell $62, btn 15.9m, wnr Seaside Croft , 1:58.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Missed out two starts back then was a distant fourth last start over 1800m at Cromwell. Certainly worth another chance.

6-11 Ascot Park Raceway 15Jan26 2200MS $10,808 R37 TO R39 E E Barron $7, btn 13.0m, wnr Rightazz , 2:02.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 13 metres when sixth over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Deserves another chance.

Has not been in the money in two runs this time in work, the latest when 16 metres away in seventh over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Deserves another chance.
