SWIFT SHADOW (3) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at Manawatu over 375m behind Thrilling Issac (22.09) in a Class 1. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. THRILLING GORDON (2) filled a minor placing last start at Wanganui behind Green Gold (30.87) in a Class 1/2. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to be in the finish again. HONKY TONK HIGH (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.79) in a R/A at Wanganui. Form at this distance is sound. One of the better chances. SPEED SKATER (7) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.
