7-10 Taupo 26Jan26 1750MS $12,500 R38 TO R41 4U Taitlyn Hanara $11, btn 23.8m, wnr Dominus , 2:04.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke briefly near the 300m and again just short of the winning post.

Comes here second-up after three-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr3) over 1750m at Taupo, beaten 23 m by Dominus (2:15.80) in 4yo+ on January 26 at $10.50. Unlikely to threaten against this field.

7-10 Taupo 26Jan26 1750MS $12,500 R35 TO R37 Crystal Hackett $35, btn 8.6m, wnr Melton Mogul , 2:07.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Checked shortly after the start by a breaking runner.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 7th (Sr2) over 1750m at Taupo beaten 8 m by Melton Mogul (2:18.90) on January 26 at $35.40. At the previous start 5th (Fr1) over 1700m at this track beaten 10 m by Proviseur (2:04.50) on January 4 at $10. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.

5-8 Cambridge Raceway 04Feb26 2200MS $7,440 R35 TO R44 K R Hall $36, btn 12.4m, wnr Dominus , 2:00.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr4) over 2200m at this track beaten 12 m by Dominus (2:44.10) on February 4 at $35.90. Before that 8th (Fr3) over 1700m at this track beaten 30 m by Proviseur (2:04.50) on January 4 at $21.90. Must do a lot more.

2-7 Manawatu 12Feb26 2000MS $10,038 R35 TO R37 Crystal Hackett $5, btn 1.9m, wnr The Elite Athlete , 1:59.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m second behind The Elite Athlete at Manawatu over 2000m last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third again at Manawatu in 3yo+ on February 10. Among the top chances on recent form.

8-9 Alexandra Park 13Feb26 2200MS $14,213 R35 TO R41 3U Peter Ferguson $10, btn 13.5m, wnr Tugawar , 2:04.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early before being restrained to the rear.

Last start 8th (Fr5) over 2200m at Alexandra Park, beaten 13 m by Tugawar (2:50.30) in 3yo+ on February 13 at $9.50. Before that, 5th (Fr3) over 2200m at this track beaten 9 m by Skys Legacy (2:45.40) in 3yo+ on February 4 at $8.70. Capable of going a lot better.

2-9 Cambridge Raceway 04Feb26 2200MS $7,580 R35 TO R36 M Ranger $7, btn 4.1m, wnr Miki Mirage , 1:58.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Sweet Vintage at Taupo over 1750m on January 26 at $33.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Miki Mirage at this track over 2200m on February 4 at $6.70. Expected to be in the finish again.

8-9 Cambridge Raceway 04Feb26 2200MS $7,580 R37 TO R39 3U Leah Hibell $87, btn 25.9m, wnr Skys Legacy , 2:00.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Hampered approaching the first bend by Ultimate Mach contacting and puncturing the sulky tyre of that runner.

Last start 8th (Fr7) over 2200m at this track, beaten 25 m by Skys Legacy (2:45.40) in 3yo+ on February 4 at $87. Two runs back 8th (Fr2) over 1750m at Taupo, beaten 14 m by Sweet Vintage (2:18.50) on January 26 at $26.60. Others preferred.
