NO SHOW SAM (6) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and four minors from eight tries. Missed the frame latest (18.33) when fifth over 305m at this track in a Class 1. Appeals as a leading chance in this. BIG TIME CHUR (3) was last seen getting around 375m at Manawatu in a quick 21.51 for a 3-length victory. Has the ability and looks like a key chance. BIG TIME REDEEM (5) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 3 lengths back in second (21.72) at Manawatu in a Class 1/2 over 375m. Expected to be in the finish again. CLIFF TOP BANGER (4) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.
