OPAWA PHILIPA (4) was a strong winner (21.34) from box 2 last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths at Cambridge Raceway. Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Great chance to get the job done again. SO STRICT (6) hit the ground running from this same draw last time and led all the way to score (38.57) in a Class 1 over 660m at Manawatu. Harder here but expected to measure up. BIG TIME FAVOUR (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (30.85) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Wanganui. Can hit the frame this time. BIG TIME ZIP (8) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.
