Failed to impress last start; 10th (Fr1) over 1980m at this track beaten 22 m by Crusher Lou (2:25.50) in 3yo+ on May 8 at $91.90. Showed ability the run before when she won by 5 m (Fr3) at this track (2:28.20) beating Girl's Night Out in on April 29 at $2.10. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Should be there at the business end.

1-11 Addington 13May26 1980MS $7,860 R40 Mia Holbrough $2, won by 2nd Style Council , 1:59.90 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

In good form recently. Last start won by a 0.8 m (Fr5) at this track (2:27.60) beating Style Council in on May 13 at $1.80. Sure to be in the finish again.

6-14 Addington 15May26 2600MS $41,400 R35 TO R44 5U Robbie Close $4, btn 21.3m, wnr Betterwithbling , 2:00.00 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced middle stages.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr3) over 2600m at this track beaten 21 m by Betterwithbling (3:14.00) in 5yo+ on May 15 at $4.40. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a 0.8 m as favourite (Fr8) at Rangiora (2:28.10) beating Anytime At All in 5yo+ on May 3 at $2. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.

5-14 Addington 15May26 2600MS $41,400 R35 TO R44 5U Ricky May $9, btn 20.3m, wnr Betterwithbling , 2:00.00 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide with cover from the 1300m. Hampered by a weakening runner final bend.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr8) over 1980m at this track beaten 24 m by Mostert (2:24.80) in 3yo+ on May 15 at $123.30. Not keen.

7-14 Rangiora 17May26 2000MS $25,099 WITH COND. MOBILE Ricky May $12, btn 30.8m, wnr Cherish Me , 1:56.20 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Back from the unruly position at the start.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Cherish Me at Rangiora over 2000m on May 17 at $12.20. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 3rd (FrU1) over 1980m at this track beaten 5 m by Franco Lennon (2:26.40) in 3yo+ on May 8 at $7.40. Deserves another chance.
