Hastings Race 7 - TIMBERSPAN SIR COLIN MEADS TROPHY
JUSTIN CASE (1) First up and finished with intent when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L first up last preparation at Pukekohe. Likely to be well placed early. Stable is in form. Can measure up to this company. PHILLYJEAN (9) Felt the pinch late when 2nd last start at Taupo and good career start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Respect against this field. SHAMBO JACK (6) Picked up late ground when 3rd beaten by 1L last time at Te Rapa but competing in a more challenging class. Respect. STYLISH (11) Sword Of State 3yo having first race start for Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos. Watch the market.

Odds of $12.00 and outpaced some runners late when 4th last time at Cambridge Synthetic but competing in a higher grade. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Could be in the mix.

Jumped at $10.00 and didn't find the line when 7th last run at Ruakaka but has drawn the rails. Not without a chance.

Jumped at $12.00 and picked up some late ground when 5th last time at Taupo on a heavy surface. Likely to get back in the run. Needs to improve.

Overrun late when 2nd last start at Taupo and promising career start. Won't be far away during the run. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

First up after 24 weeks and narrowly denied victory first up last preparation at Tauherenikau. Taking on a lower class of opponents. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Can't leave out of your calculations.
