WOLFMAN JACK (8) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (18.90) at this track. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Expected to feature in the finish again. PORTLAND DING US (3) boasts a consistent overall record including 17 wins from 63 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (18.60) over 318m at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. PAPA KIWI (2) last start finished 3rd over 375m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 6 lengths (21.71) behind Best Bet Benny in a Class 4 on August 21. Looks one of the chances. WAERENGA SONIC (4) has claims fresh from a recent placing at this track and distance. Odds should be appealing.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 318m in 18.65. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 318m at this track at Class 4 level. Forgive the latest run. Worth consideration on best form.
