Beaten favourite last start when second at this track on March 20. Proved too good the start prior at this track on March 13. Should prove tough to roll again.

Hard to fault of late. Last start by a neck as favourite (Fr9) at this track (3:13.90) beating Captain Cool in 3yo+ on March 20 at $1.60. Sure to play a major role.

3-5 Ashburton Raceway 28Mar26 2400SS Trail Ricky May btn 2m, wnr WHYAMIHERE , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 10th (20m 2) over 2400m at Waterlea Raceway beaten 50 m by Misty Blue (3:14.00) on January 16 at $27.20. Has only trialled once and may need more time.

6-6 Addington 20Mar26 2600SS $17,900 R66 3U Nikita Burton $11, btn 102.3m, wnr Got The Chocolates , 1:56.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing all chance.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 2600m at this track, well beaten by Got The Chocolates (3:08.70) in 3yo+ on March 20 at $10.80. At the run before 8th (15m 5) over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 30 m by Vessem (3:19.30) on March 1 at $8.90. Capable of more than he has shown recently. This looks a suitable assignment.

Last start 5th (Fr2) over 2600m at this track, beaten 23 m by Got The Chocolates (3:08.70) in 3yo+ on March 20 at $25.60. At the start before solid effort when 2nd (10m 2) over 1950m at Rangiora beaten 1.1 m by Misty Blue (2:31.30) in 4yo+ on March 1 at $2.70. Sure to be thereabouts.

5-5 Ashburton Raceway 28Mar26 2400SS Trail John Morrison btn wnr WHYAMIHERE , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Before that 2nd (Fr2) over 2600m at this track, beaten 7 m by Diamonds Are Forever (3:14.80) in 3yo+ on March 13 at $9.20. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Resuming after a spell of five months. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into third behind The Lazarus Effect at this track over 1980m on November 14 at $4.50. Should be ready to run well.
