First up after a break. Started $3.50 and didn't attack the line when 6th last time at Hawera but having second career run. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

Was $2.80 and ran 4th last time at this venue but can save some energy from the draw. Should be in the finish.

Jumped at $31.00 and was well beaten when 8th last time at Ellerslie but competing in a less challenging grade. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Will need a big effort to win this.

Started at $13.00 and was nothing special when 7th last start at this track but fitter for debut run. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Overlook from a betting angle.
