Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.75 m second behind Mostert at this track over 1980m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 2 metres second again at this track same class on May 8. One of the primary contenders.

1-12 Addington 15May26 1980MS $17,000 R35 TO R43 3U Carter Dalgety $1, won by 2nd Irish Dream , 1:57.60 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced and struck the sulky wheel of Royal Belle near the 1650m despite the efforts of driver C Dalgety.

Racing consistently. Last start won by 2.75 m (Fr2) at this track (2:24.80) beating Irish Dream in 3yo+ on May 15 at $1.30. Hard to knock recent form and should be in the finish again.

1-9 Rangiora 03May26 2000MS $10,423 R35 TO R39 4U John Morrison $18, won by 2nd Fusion Reactor , 1:59.90 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Brings the right form to the table. Won by a neck (Sr1) at Rangiora (2:29.10) beating Fusion Reactor in 4yo+ on May 3 at $17.70. Two runs back 5th (Fr7) over 2000m at Motukarara Raceway, beaten 11 m by Flyaway (2:33.50) in 4yo+ on April 22 at $17.70. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Became awkwardly placed on the sulky of Justaweesip near the 1750m when there was a slight easing of the pace, having to be steadied. Over raced middle stages. Checked and broke rounding the final bend losing all chance.

Good run 30 metres second behind Cinderella Franco at this track over 1980m 3yo+ FM on April 10. Failed to finish behind Show Stopper on April 26 at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m 3yo F. Looks ideally placed.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Sacetas at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on April 24 at $4.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Sacetas at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on May 8 at $10.50. One of the better chances.

1-3 Addington 13May26 2600SS Trail Riley Harrison won by 2nd FLYING DREAMS , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up won by a 0.5 m (Fr2) at this track (2:25.70) beating Candy Cane in 3yo+ on August 22 at $4.50. Leading player.

Is on a seven-day back-up and has been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 3rd (Fr3) over 1980m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Captain Cool (2:23.70) in 3yo+ on May 15 at $38.80. This looks a far sterner task.
