Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished fifth last start over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway, 6 metres from the winner. Certainly worth another chance.

9-15 Mt Harding 08Feb26 2400SS $12,104 R35 TO R45 6U Tim Williams $9, btn 19.4m, wnr Silvester , 2:11.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was safely held last time out in ninth over 2400m at Mt Harding, beaten 19 metres. Not keen on his chances in this field.

13-14 Motukarara Raceway 15Feb26 2170SS $11,385 R37 TO R39 4U Blair Orange $6, btn 23.0m, wnr Cappaha , 2:08.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been down the track at her past two starts since winning at this track, the latest effort a 13th at Motukarara Raceway over 2170m. Best form puts her right in this.

4-14 Motukarara Raceway 15Feb26 2170SS $11,385 R37 TO R39 4U Samantha Ottley $28, btn 5.1m, wnr Cappaha , 2:08.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start but was only beaten 5 metres when fourth at Motukarara Raceway over 2170m. Expecting a better run this time.

3-14 Motukarara Raceway 15Feb26 2170SS $11,385 R37 TO R39 4U Kyle Cameron $36, btn 2.2m, wnr Cappaha , 2:08.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Commendable effort last time to finish 2.25 metres from the winner in third over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

1-13 Motukarara Raceway 15Feb26 2170SS $11,193 R35 TO R36 4U Mia Holbrough $4, won by 2nd Ginas Majesty , 2:08.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved sharply last start to return winning form by 4 metres over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway. Great chance to make it two in a row.

3-13 Motukarara Raceway 15Feb26 2170SS $11,193 R35 TO R36 4U Sam Thornley $4, btn 7.8m, wnr Buffy Northstains , 2:08.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway last start after she missed the frame but wasn't far away two back at Rangiora. One of the primary contenders.

12-12 Addington 19Feb26 1980MS $17,000 R35 TO R45 3U Robert Butt $21, btn 364.2m, wnr Tu Tangata , 2:00.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished 12th most recently over 1980m at Addington, 365 metres from the winner. Deserves another chance.

9-14 Motukarara Raceway 15Feb26 2170SS $11,385 R37 TO R39 4U John Morrison $6, btn 16.2m, wnr Cappaha , 2:08.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been out of the placings at the last couple of starts from tricky draws, the latest when ninth over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway. Certainly up to this and she is a strong winning chance.

12-15 Rangiora 06Feb26 1950SS $12,104 NON-WINNERS Samantha Ottley $33, btn 149.3m, wnr Royalglow , 2:11.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke shortly after the start losing ground. Broke again near the 900m and on a further occasion near the 300m losing all chance.

Safely held last time when 150 metres from the winner in 12th over 1950m at Rangiora. This looks a far sterner task.

7-13 Motukarara Raceway 15Feb26 2170SS $11,193 R35 TO R36 4U Blair Orange $5, btn 27.5m, wnr Buffy Northstains , 2:08.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third at Rangiora two starts back then couldn't repeat the dose over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway last time, finishing 30 metres from the winner. Finding a few ahead of her.

5-14 Motukarara Raceway 15Feb26 2170SS $11,385 R40 TO R45 4U Colin Defilippi $15, btn 3.5m, wnr Petite Trixton , 2:07.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Saluted at Rangiora two runs back then couldn't follow it up over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway last time, albeit only 3.5 metres off the winner. A big run would not surprise.
