Was unlucky here on debut before chasing a hot hound home twice at Manawatu. Looks suited drawn close in.
Selections: 3-5-8-6
Led for a fair way at Manawatu before fading to fourth. Looks better suited here at this stage & the inside draw is a plus.
Selections: 2-4-7-5
Lacks the early speed of some in this but she has been posting black book placings. 6 Pure Precision was very impressive winning here on debut. Finished a place ahead of DAB at Manawatu on Tuesday.
Selections: 3-6-4-5
Was hampered more than once when tasting defeat for the first time a fortnight ago. Drawing the other side of the 3 dog helps. Hadn't raced for a month prior. 5 Last Say jumped from a maiden sprint win here into a very strong c1/2 457m race at Manawatu. His winning time a fortnight ago suggests that he's a decent hope in this.
Selections: 2-5-7-6
Very fast winner when last presented here three starts back. Useful runs at Manawatu since but appears better suited to this track these days.
Selections: 5-7-2-6
Thumping win at Manawatu midweek. Has posted a fast time on this track. Can be awkward early but there's little early pace in this field so can take advantage.
Selections: 3-1-8-2
Convincing winner in this class at Manawatu on Tuesday & runs this place well too.
Selections: 3-2-4-6
Has been well below his best lately but downgrades & he looks to have this small field covered comfortably.
Selections: 7-6-5-8
Has exceptional early speed here so can negate the wide draw although 4 Big Time Brave also has a decent early sectional in her & comes in fresh.
Selections: 8-4-6-3
Downgrades & wasn't far away when fourth on this track a fortnight ago. Tempting odds in this line-up.
Selections: 8-4-7-6
Unlucky in her last two starts so downgrades. 4 Logger For Life was dragged down from behind when on the pace last start. Nice field with the fresh-faced 5 Fergie's Girl jumping another class.
Selections: 3-4-5-6
Was beaten by two smart Canterbury chasers when third at Manawatu. Will have to begin better than he did on the back-up here a fortnight ago though. 7 Cliff Top Winne is at generous odds considering his bold second to a rising star last time.
Selections: 2-7-5-4
Best: Iconic End
Next: Big Time Kimetto
Value: Big Time Clarke
