Ellerslie Race 4 - ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES 1200

PILATES (6) Finished well when winning last time at Matamata but racing in stronger company. Jockey Michael Mcnab is in form for this stable. Shows good finishing speed. Can measure up to this company. BIDING MY TIME (8) First up after 23 weeks and assumed control from the start to win by 1 1/2L first up last preparation at this track. Has plenty of early speed. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. COSMIC DREAM (2) First run back from a break. Was agonizingly close last run at this venue and can save some energy from the alley. Should muster plenty of early toe. Should go close. ECHANNAY (5) Fresh today after a break. Charged home to win last run at Rotorua and having second career run. Won't be far away during the run. Consider an each way bet.

Was $21.00 and mediocre attempt when 8th last time at Matamata and bit of extra work to do with more weight. Looks hopeful at best.

First up after a break. Just missed last run at this venue and has the ideal draw. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Capable type.

Jumped at $21.00 and only fair when 6th last run at Taupo but has a good draw. Should come to hand quickly. Up in weight. Not interested.

Jumped at $21.00 and made ground when closing off to finish 5th last time around here but hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Can't suggest backing.

Reeled them in to win last time at Matamata but challenged by more formidable competitors. Michael Mcnab usually performs well for the Sam Bergerson & Mark Walker stable. Should go very close.
