THRILLING CARLOS (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (18.70) at Manukau behind Epic Pepper in a Class 3/4. Has the pace to be prominent. Must come into calculations. ALLEGRO TORI (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (18.18) in a Class 5 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Form from her last run is proving very strong. Expected to feature in the finish. LADDU ROSE (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time. Something for the Multiples: BIG TIME MEGHAN (5)
