MATTY A (12) is first up from a spell of 11 weeks and generally wastes no time finding form, recording two wins and a placing from four fresh attempts. Owns a good record here and his strike rate at this distance is strong, winning five of nine. Could make a winning return. YA EEJIT YA (8) broke when last seen in the Golden Gait in December but had shown promise in winning his other three starts. Tackles older rivals but has upside. HIGH ENERGY (10) came from this mark when she won at Hawera three back and is capable on her day. CASTANA (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win at this circuit and distance.
