RIBKRAKA (1) showed good early speed over 1400m at New Plymouth Raceway last time and went on to salute by 3 lengths. Sure to give a great sight. HONEY BADGER (3) saluted at Arawa Park two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when third over 1100m at Te Rapa, beaten 2 lengths after working home well. Nicely placed to return to winning form. PLEASING (4) is racing well. Scored at Hawera two back then finished second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1100m at Te Rapa at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. MACALLAN (2) won well on debut. Better drawn today.
