Fine and Slow8 (3.9 – 4.2)

    KIRI found 1580m too short at Te Awamutu last time and footing too testing at Tauranga prior, following Ellerslie win over 2100m on Slow7, drawn. Samantha Spratt

 

    Too strong beating Strapped For Cash at Avondale over 2000m on Slow8 last time, AMIRAR was enormous winning by 16-lengths over 2000m on Heavy10 prior, right form. Andrew Calder

 

    Sprinted when asked finding plenty to win at Ruakaka over 2100m on Dead6 last Saturday, IMA LADY did win at similar time last season, ideal weight. Cameron Lammas

 

    Raced clear at Ruakaka over 2100m on Dead6 last time, ELECTRONIC SOCKS produced notable third here to Just Once prior, in with nice weight, capable. Andy Webb

 

Fine and Heavy10 (4.6 – 5.5)

    Freshened since failing at Tauranga on Heavy11, CROCODILE CANYON produced strong win at Wanganui over 1600m on Slow8 prior, best form here at home. Hayden Tinsley

 

    Notable seventh to I Robot at New Plymouth over 1400m on Slow9 last Saturday, THE CAPTAIN has blinkers on, change of rider, course win and capable type. James McDonald

 

    Eighth to Gotta Govern and Burger in atrocious conditions at Trentham last time, KEEPEREEL is a smart mare at best and could force issue if improved. Rosie Myers (1)

 

    Fought hard to close second to Gotta Govern at Trentham over 1600m on Heavy11 last time, BURGER had produced solid performances in three starts following smart debut win. Lisa Allpress
