Trots OTX Addington - NZ

7-9 Addington 29May26 1980MS $16,108 R35 TO R37 3U R E Cameron $38, btn 27.3m, wnr Route Sixty Six , 1:58.00 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not a threat last start when seventh over 1980m at this track, beaten 25 metres. This looks a far sterner task.

4-13 Ashburton Raceway 31May26 1700MS $12,719 R35 TO R37 4U Mia Holbrough $6, btn 5.9m, wnr Okiwi Bay , 1:58.00 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Had a second-row draw last time and was a creditable fourth, beaten 6 metres, over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Rates highly and expected to go well from a low draw.

10-13 Ashburton Raceway 31May26 1700MS $12,719 R35 TO R37 4U John Morrison $12, btn 16.2m, wnr Okiwi Bay , 1:58.00 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been struggling of late, most recently finishing tenth over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Has ability and can do much better.

3-12 Rangiora 17May26 2000MS $11,000 R35 TO R38 3U Samantha Ottley $36, btn 9.5m, wnr B B King , 1:59.30 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third over 2000m at Rangiora last start after he was easily accounted for two back at Rangiora. Should be there at the business end.

10-12 Addington 29May26 1980MS $17,000 R38 TO R40 3U Ricky May $39, btn 31.9m, wnr Heaven , 1:57.20 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Following a win four back has struggled to recapture form, last start finishing tenth over 1980m at this track. Would prefer to see a return to form before recommending.

12-14 Ashburton Raceway 31May26 1700MS $12,938 R38 TO R40 4U Tim Williams $77, btn 25.7m, wnr Cracker Opie , 1:53.80 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened final bend hampering trailing runners.

Found winning form three back but the last couple of runs have been less impressive, the latest when beaten 25 metres into 12th at Ashburton Raceway. Has to overcome a tricky gate. Hard to have.

2-5 Rangiora 26May26 2000SS Trail Robbie Close btn 1m, wnr FRANCO LOMU , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has not raced since finishing 11th at this track eight months ago. Fitter for finishing in the placings in a recent trial at Rangiora. Should be in the finish.

7-8 Rangiora 20May26 2000SS Trail Samantha Ottley btn wnr RENEGADE , (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last raced 17 months ago. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

13-14 Addington 19Apr26 2600MS $12,938 R35 TO R45 4U Wilson House $9, btn 26.5m, wnr Jukebox Gypsy , 1:59.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Continued a long run without winning when 13th at this track over 2600m last time out. Capable of a better showing.

6-12 Addington 29May26 1980MS $17,000 R38 TO R40 3U Wilson House $12, btn 10.3m, wnr Heaven , 1:57.20 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Was in the money two back then safely held last time when sixth at this track over 1980m, beaten 10 metres. Rates highly and can atone.

5-12 Addington 29May26 1980MS $17,000 R38 TO R40 3U Kyle Cameron $14, btn 8.1m, wnr Heaven , 1:57.20 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been racing consistently at his last few starts, most recently when fifth over 1980m at this track. Should be involved on his recent form.

9-14 Ashburton Raceway 31May26 1700MS $12,938 R38 TO R40 4U Ben Hope $17, btn 13.2m, wnr Cracker Opie , 1:53.80 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Briefly raced in restricted room entering the first bend when shifting ground inwards simultaneously to Monkee Major. Held up by a weakening runner rounding the final bend and early in the run home.

Struggling to find form and has been out of the winners' list at his last four runs. Last start finished ninth over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. One to consider as his best is good enough.

7-11 Ashburton Raceway 10May26 2400MS $10,808 3U Blair Orange $10, btn 18.6m, wnr Bettor Than Lizzy , 1:58.80 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Hasn't drawn to advantage at his past couple of starts, last time out finishing seventh over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Tricky draw again but he is a major player.

2-7 Manawatu 09Apr26 2000MS $10,038 R38 TO R40 3U Wilson House $2, btn 2.2m, wnr Mr Miki , 1:57.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished second over 2000m at Manawatu last start following a win at Manawatu the run prior. Sure to go well based on his latest efforts.
