Meets My Ten Guitars again; when 25 metres eleventh at Rangiora over 1950m in a 4yo+ M race on February 6. This looks far too tough.

Well beaten last start by My Ten Guitars, a rival who she faces again; when 40 metres twelfth at Rangiora over 1950m in a 4yo+ M race on February 6. Needs to lift.

Improved last start with a game effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Mt Harding, beaten 3 m by Amalfi (2:02.10) in 6yo+ on February 8 at $32.10. A big run would not surprise.

Was on debut by 1.4 m as favourite (Fr5) at Ashburton Raceway (2:02.80) beating Midnight Sophia in on January 13 at $1.50. Tricky draw to overcome but has plenty of upside.

1-12 Rangiora 06Feb26 1950MS $13,000 R35 TO R40 M 4U Sam Thornley $45, won by 2nd Playing With Stars , 2:03.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start won a big 5 m win (Fr2) at Rangiora (2:29.90) beating Playing With Stars in 4yo+ M on February 6 at $44.70. One of the better chances.
