Trots OTX Rangiora - NZ

3-6 Rangiora 21Apr26 2000SS Trail Carter Dalgety btn 3.35m, wnr CRUSHER LOU , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Three-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. Won at debut when by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr4) at Central Southland Raceway (1:54.60) beating Side Hustle in 2yo on November 9 at $2 at the bell was leading 1.8m on the pegs. Big danger while fresh.

1-13 Rangiora 26Apr26 2000MS $12,719 NON-WINNERS 3U Robbie Close $22, won by 2nd Boy Racer , 1:57.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start posted a big 30 m win (Fr2) at this track (2:26.20) beating Boy Racer in 3yo+ on April 26 at $22.30. Expected to measure up again.

10-10 Addington 24Apr26 1980MS $16,405 R35 TO R40 3U Tim Williams $5, btn 81.0m, wnr Forever Miki , 1:55.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here second-up after nine days. Lacklustre first-up performance when 10th (Fr4) over 1980m at Addington beaten 80 m by Forever Miki (2:22.70) in 3yo+ on April 24 at $5.30. This looks a far sterner test.

3-10 Addington 24Apr26 1980MS $16,405 R35 TO R40 3U Olivia Thornley $2, btn 14.3m, wnr Forever Miki , 1:55.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Ashley Frank at Addington over 1980m in a 3yo+ on April 10 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Forever Miki at Addington over 1980m in a 3yo+ on April 24 at $2. Has the ability to figure prominently.

6-10 Addington 24Apr26 1980MS $16,405 R35 TO R40 3U Sam Thornley $19, btn 20.8m, wnr Forever Miki , 1:55.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here second-up after nine days. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Fr2) over 1980m at Addington beaten 20 m by Forever Miki (2:22.70) in 3yo+ on April 24 at $19.40. Might need more time.

1-10 Addington 24Apr26 1980MS $16,405 R35 TO R40 3U Sarah O'reilly $8, won by 2nd Mostert , 1:55.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last preparation only had one start before going for a break. Returned to racing with a handy win by a 0.5 m (Fr3) at Addington (2:22.70) beating Mostert in 3yo+ on April 24 at $8.10. Will be better for that run and is a top winning chance again.

1-11 Rangiora 26Apr26 2000MS $12,281 R35 TO R45 FM 3U Samantha Ottley $7, won by 2nd Shards Lyric , 1:59.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start won by a 0.8 m (Fr2) at this track (2:28.70) beating Shards Lyric in 3yo+ FM on April 26 at $6.70. Can go back-to-back.

12-12 Ascot Park Raceway 26Apr26 2200MS $60,000 CG 3 Craig Ferguson $21, btn 150.9m, wnr Mystery Creek , 1:57.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke near the 600m and shifted outwards hampering outside runners losing all chance.

Last start 12th (Sr4) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway well beaten by Mystery Creek (2:40.40) in 3yo CG on April 26 at $20.60. Two runs back won by a neck (Fr9) at Addington (2:25.30) beating Mostert in 3yo+ on April 17 at $5.40. Hard to enthuse.

1-8 Addington 10Apr26 1980MS $16,740 R37 TO R43 3U Jonny Cox $5, won by 2nd Stumpy Blackler , 1:57.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Out of position at the start despite the efforts of driver J Cox. Raced wide early. Lay outwards in the run home.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Addington. Last start posted a big 3.5 m win (Fr6) at Addington (2:24.10) beating Stumpy Blackler in 3yo+ on April 10 at $4.80. Winning claims.
