Ran home strongly to win last start at Ellerslie. Will be trying to topple them late. Betting is the best guide.

Picked up late to win last time at Ellerslie. Possesses good closing pace. Not at all out of this race.

Odds of $21.00 and crept into 5th last run at Trentham on a heavy surface. Might be ridden for luck. Watch for a sign in the market.

RSIS

Started at 20/1 and improved late to finish 5th last start at Trentham. Gets back and needs luck. Could feature here.

ILB

Started $8.00 and weakened to finish 13th last start at Hawera and facing formidable opponents. Floor Moerman rates highly and gets some weight relief. Good chance in this.

RSIS

Started 7/1 and gave away some ground when 13th last run at Hawera on a heavy surface and facing formidable opponents. Floor Moerman is a key engagement. One of the value chances in this race.

Jumped at $3.25 and weakened under pressure when 5th last run at Ellerslie but drawn nicely. Displays good tactical speed. Respect the betting.

RSIS

Was 9/4 and couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last start at Ellerslie but can find a nice position from the draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Could be in the mix.

Odds of $34.00 and pushed past some when 5th last run at Te Rapa. Very minor chance.

RSIS

Was 33/1 and inched into 5th last time at Te Rapa.

ILB

Competed in a tight contest last run at Hawera on a heavy track but challenged by more formidable competitors. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Strong claims in this.

RSIS

Close up last run at Hawera and showing improvement in recent outings. Competing at a higher level of competition. Must be considered here.

ILB

At $34.00 couldn't maintain the pace when 10th last time at Matamata but drawn the rails. Likely to settle back in the field. Needs to find a lot more.

RSIS

At 33/1 weakened under pressure when 10th last run at Matamata but drawn the rails. Will be giving the leaders a big start.

ILB

Jumped at $201.00 and struggled with the pace when 11th last run at Ellerslie but going over extra ground. Has plenty of early speed. Not threatening these.

RSIS

Started 200/1 and didn't threaten when 11th last run at Ellerslie but facing a rise in trip. Will be pushing for a forward position early.

ILB

Ran on strongly when 2nd last start at Matamata and gets some weight taken off. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Racing in stronger company. Not at all out of this race.

RSIS

Solid effort to run into 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Matamata but competing in a higher grade. Will appreciate the drop in weight. Can't leave out of your calculations.
