Ashburton Race 1 - Advanced Feed Trot
MASSIVE CARNEGIE (7) is a three-year-old gelding by Muscle Mass from Carnegie Hall on debut. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Will be ready to run a big race. WATERLOO STATION (3) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held at Motukarara over 2170m. He is due a change of luck and can take this out. ROGUE HERO (8) is a three-year-old gelding from the Ken Ford & Amanda Tomlinson stable on debut. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Well-placed to score at his first appearance. NATIVES BLAZIN SON (6) was not far away when seventh over 2400m at Mt Harding. Can do a lot better so worth considering on an each-way basis.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 14th (Fr6) over 2170m at Motukarara, well beaten by Rakero Ace (2:54.00) in 3yo+ on February 16 at $2.80. The run previous 9th (Fr10) over 1950m at Rangiora, beaten 30 m by Tessamae (2:43.20) in 3yo+ on February 6 at $4.20. Worth another chance. Can improve and has to be included among the main chances.
