2 | X66032 | Radioactive Jaffa | 2 | Ft | Ricky May | Confidence building with each spring run. Draw upgrade here. Not the worst. | |
3 | X22196 | Wavewatcher | 3 | Ft | Olivia Thornley(J) | Not bad when belatedly clear at Oamaru. Placed once in 4 tries here. Combos. | |
4 | 170285 | Fergalicious | 4 | Ft | John Dunn | Didn't give up after tough run 18 Oct. Draw provides some options. Multiples. | |
5 | 841008 | Spirited Lou | 5 | Ft | Kimberly Butt | Got back & stayed back at Addington 09 Oct. Won here in August. Blowout. | |
