Strong record when resuming. Strong effort when placing 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at Otaki but up in class. Chance and can measure up.

RSIS

Should be ready to fire fresh. Did well to run into 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last run at Otaki but racing in stronger company. Should go close.

ILB

Was $9.50 and subpar when 7th last start at Te Rapa but has drawn the rails. Challenged by a tougher grade. Place claims.

RSIS

Started 17/2 and below standard effort when 7th last start at Te Rapa but can save some energy from the stall. Challenged by more formidable competitors.

At $26.00 uncompetitive when 10th last run at Te Rapa on a heavy track and will have to carry extra weight. Looks too tough.

RSIS

Odds of 25/1 and looked flat when 10th last start at Te Rapa on a heavy surface and rising in weight.

First up from a break of 31 weeks. Jumped at $8.00 and kept chasing when 4th last start at Ellerslie and facing weaker opposition. Displays very good finishing speed. Strong claims.

RSIS

Back after break of 31 weeks. Started at 7/1 and picked up some ground to run 4th last time at Ellerslie and up against a less challenging field. Good chance in this.

Back after a 28 week break. Started $21.00 and ran 9th last run at Trentham and coming back in trip. Likely to get back in the field. Needs a lot of luck in this race.

RSIS

First run back from a 28 week break. Started at 20/1 and came in 9th last start at Trentham and down in trip. Might be ridden for luck.

First up after a break. Odds of $8.50 and was nothing special when 8th last time at Te Rapa and facing a stronger group of contenders. Has good closing speed. Could be in the mix.

RSIS

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Started 15/2 and average at best when 8th last time at Te Rapa and up against a more competitive field.

ILB

Showed a clean pair of heels when winning by just short of 3L last time at Te Rapa but matched against tougher rivals. Great chance.

RSIS

Went to the front and never looked back when winning by a margin of close to 3L last run at Te Rapa but up against a higher level of opposition. Definitely worth considering.

ILB

Odds of $7.50 and didn't maintain the pace throughout when 5th last run at Hastings and drawn nicely. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Good chance and definitely has claims.

RSIS

Odds of 13/2 and started to tire when 5th last start at Hastings and has a positive stall. Should race on the pace. Challenged by a tougher grade. Expecting a strong showing.

Odds correct as at 11:00 am AEDT. Odds can change.
