BIG TIME ASHTON (4) finished fifth last time at Wanganui Straight but could not have been more impressive before that in his excellent 25.82 win at Manawatu over 457m. Has the ability and expected to go close again. TIME TO RACE (6) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when second (38.41) at Manawatu and may be close to breaking through. Has a good record here at this journey. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Bold showing expected. BIG TIME SPECIAL (2) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 0.9 lengths away in second (38.27) behind Unique Sunrise at Cambridge Raceway. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Overdue and expected to feature again. SWEET AND SASSY (5) has won at this course and distance so keep her in mind.
