HAWKES BAY HALF (4) recorded an impressive win after running them ragged to make it two on the bounce at this track over 520m (31.07). Got the money at his only try from this box. Looks the testing material. AMELIA ATE IT (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished second (30.74) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Form here sound including four wins. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Can measure up. OUR BOY ROMEO (7) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (17.68) at Wanganui-Straight behind POPPY JEM in a Class 1. Bold showing expected. THRILLING ZANE (6) can feature with the right run. Include in all combinations.
