1-9 Central Southland Raceway 30Oct26 2400SS $11,370 R41 TO R66 3U 40m 1 Nathan Williamson $4, won by 2.7m, 2nd Have A Little Faith 0, 2:05.50 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

2-10 Ashburton Raceway 26Oct26 1700MS $38,600 FFA MOBILE Fr3 Ben Hope $4, btn 2.4m, wnr Prestigious 0, 1:57.50 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved last start with a good run when 2nd (Fr3) over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway, beaten 2.5 m by Prestigious (2:04.20) on October 26 at $4.20. Drawn to advantage and proven at the distance so is among the each way chances.

4-11 Kaikoura 02Nov26 2400SS $39,300 R60 TO R120 Fr4 Ricky May $12, btn 12.2m, wnr Tetrick 0, 2:02.60 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Required veterinary clearance was received.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 2400m at Kaikoura, beaten 12 m by Tetrick (3:03.02) on November 2 at $11.50. Two runs back 9th (FrU2) over 2600m at this track, beaten 22 m by Prestigious (3:16.30) on October 9 at $34.50. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

5-11 Addington 16Oct26 2600SS $39,300 R66 Fr1 John Dunn $26, btn 12.2m, wnr Bravehearthighlander 0, 2:02.00 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

8-12 Melton 17Oct26 1720MS $60,000 No NR G1 Fr4 Ross Payne $16, btn 13.7m, wnr I Am Wilma 0, 1:53.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Before that, 4th (Fr5) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton, at the bell was 4th-6.98 beaten 9 m by Lovemeto (2:43.70) in G3 on October 10 at $14. His second to Gus in the Inter Dominion Final is a good pointer and he races well third-up so should be peaking.

1-11 Addington 16Oct26 2600SS $39,300 R66 Fr5 Jacob Dunn $25, won by 0.8m, 2nd Higher Power 0, 2:02.00 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a 0.8 m (Fr5) at this track (3:17.27) beating Higher Power in on October 16 at $25.30. Hard to leave out on current form. Going well and could play a role.

6-9 Addington 04Nov26 2600SS Trial 15m 3 Harrison Orange btn wnr AXEL ROSE 0.0, (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Beaten favourite last start when second at this track on October 16. Proved too good the start before at Alexandra Park on October 2. Has the form to be in the finish.

7-9 Addington 04Nov26 2600SS Trial 15m 2 Paul Nairn btn wnr AXEL ROSE 0.0, (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr6) over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway, beaten 11 m by Prestigious (2:04.20) on October 26 at $9.20. Before that 11th (Fr3) over 2600m at this track, well beaten by Bravehearthighlander (3:17.27) on October 16 at $20.90. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

3-11 Kaikoura 02Nov26 2400SS $39,300 R60 TO R120 Fr8 Samantha Ottley $7, btn 4.3m, wnr Tetrick 0, 2:02.60 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Racing consistently with minor placings at her last two starts. Placed last start 3rd (Fr8) over 2400m at Kaikoura beaten 4.5 m by Tetrick (3:03.02) on November 2 at $7.20. Before that 3rd (Fr7) over 2600m at this track, beaten 5 m by Bravehearthighlander (3:17.27) on October 16 at $23.60. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

2-11 Kaikoura 02Nov26 2400SS $39,300 R60 TO R120 Fr6 Robbie Close $39, btn 3.8m, wnr Tetrick 0, 2:02.60 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Resumed from a 98-day break with a strong win by 7 m as favourite (50m) at Albion Park (3:14.80) beating Pinnie in 4yo+ on October 24 at $1.50 at the bell was leading 5.03. Leading Aussie who won this last year and his fresh wins suggests he is on track to do it again.

9-11 Kaikoura 02Nov26 2400SS $39,300 R60 TO R120 15m 1 D M Miles $3, btn 93.4m, wnr Tetrick 0, 2:02.60 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke rounding the first bend and lost ground. Broke again near the 1000m, losing all chance.

Meets Tetrick again; when 95 metres ninth at Kaikoura over 2400m in a race on November 2. Good enough to get into the finish with her A-game.

5-9 Addington 04Nov26 2600SS Trial 15m 1 Kimberly Butt btn wnr AXEL ROSE 0.0, (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here in the right form. Won by 2.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at Ashburton Raceway (2:04.20) beating Mr Love in on October 26 at $2.20. Two runs back won by 5.5 m (Fr3) at this track (3:16.30) beating Habibti Pat in on October 9 at $9.90. Progressing strongly and winning form must be respected.

1-7 Rangiora 28Oct26 2600SS Trial 30m 1 Blair Orange won by 1.25m, 2nd NOBILO 0.0, (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Beaten favourite last start when second at this track on October 9. Scored the start prior at this track on September 25. Going well and can feature with any luck from the draw.

Well beaten last start by Tetrick, who she meets again; when 30 metres seventh at Kaikoura over 2400m in a race on November 2. Tested at this level.

Last start 6th (10m U1) over 2600m at this track, beaten 15 m by Bravehearthighlander (3:17.27) on October 16 at $7.50. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (20m U1) over 2700m at Alexandra Park beaten 8 m by Higher Power (3:30.40) on October 2 at $5.20. Worth a spot in the exotics.
