Last start 4th (Fr5) over 1980m at this track beaten 30 m by Tact Teva (2:22.30) in 4yo+ on July 24 at $89.10. At the run before 9th (Fr8) over 1980m at this track, beaten 17 m by Kotare Rimu (2:25.50) in 3yo+ on July 17 at $26.90. One to consider as his best is good enough.

11-13 Phar Lap Raceway 24May26 2600SS $20,350 R41 TO R55 Andrew Drake $43, btn 83.7m, wnr Commander Ben 0, 2:03.30 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Checked by an inside runner at the start losing ground. Over raced middle stages. Broke near the 400m checking trailing runners losing all chance. A clip on the breastplate broke during the running.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 6th (Fr2) over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway, beaten 15 m by Justyouwait (2:03.30) in 3yo+ on November 13 at $4.30. Likely to need the run.

2-10 Addington 17Jul26 2000SS $15,440 R41 TO R50 Tim Williams $5, btn 0.5m, wnr Bryce's Meddle 0, 2:00.80 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved last start with a game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 2000m at this track, beaten 0.5 m by Bryce's Meddle (2:30.20) on July 17 at $5.30. Should be in the mix again.

3-9 Addington 12Jul26 2600MS $10,423 R40 TO R49 5U Wilson House $9, btn 5.1m, wnr Bryce's Meddle 0, 2:00.50 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Trainer J Morrison advised the mare has had its hocks treated since last racing.

Second up after running 3rd (Fr7) over 2600m at this track beaten 5 m by Bryce's Meddle (3:14.80) in 5yo+ on July 12 at $9.10. Needs to do more. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

1-11 Addington 24Jul26 1980MS $15,720 R42 TO R48 3U Wilson House $13, won by 2.2m, 2nd Cee Whata Mickee 0, 2:00.00 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here in the right form. Won by 2.25 m (Fr4) at this track (2:27.70) beating Cee Whata Mickee in 3yo+ on July 24 at $12.80. Two runs back 3rd (Fr2) over 1980m at this track, beaten 10 m by Irish Dream (2:22.00) in 3yo+ on July 17 at $17.60. Not keen this time.

1-7 Addington 26Jul26 1980MS $9,125 R35 TO R45 4U Blair Wilmott $8, won by 2.4m, 2nd Putere Boy 0, 2:01.10 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. Won by 2.5 m (Fr7) at this track (2:29.10) beating Putere Boy in 4yo+ on July 26 at $7.60. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into tenth behind Kotare Rimu at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on July 17 at $50. This looks a far sterner test.

2-9 Ascot Park Raceway 12Jul26 2200MS $11,370 R46 TO R55 Max Hill $9, btn 0.8m, wnr Rakamurph 0, 1:58.70 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay out over the concluding stages having to be corrected.

Solid run when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Tact Teva at Gore Raceway over 2200m on June 21 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Rakamurph at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m on July 12 at $9.20. Going along well. Shapes as one to consider.

3-6 Addington 24Jul26 1980MS $15,215 R49 TO R70 3U Kimberly Butt $116, btn 4.9m, wnr J T Boe 0, 1:57.10 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved last start with a game effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1980m at this track beaten 5 m by J T Boe (2:24.20) in 3yo+ on July 24 at $116.40. One of the better chances.

6-9 Ascot Park Raceway 12Jul26 2200MS $11,370 R46 TO R55 Nathan Williamson $2, btn 5.9m, wnr Rakamurph 0, 1:58.70 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced wide early.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr8) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 6 m by Rakamurph (2:42.34) on July 12 at $1.90. Showed ability the run before when she won by 2.25 m (Fr5) at Central Southland Raceway (2:55.05) beating Cracker Opie in on June 25 at $2. Bold showing expected this time.

2-3 Rangiora 22Jul26 2000SS Trial btn 0.5m, wnr ROCKINGOOD 0.0, (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returns after eight months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into twelfth behind Arafura at this track over 2600m in a 3yo F on November 21 at $21.60. Looks all set for a bright return.
