Prize Money: $2,636

WAITERIMU GEM (7) had won five starts on end leading into last time when strongly fancied but could only manage third (19.46) at this track. Must come into calculations. JOE BANANAS (4) started big odds last time where he hit the ground running and was never headed, leading throughout to win by 5 lengths over 318, at this track (19.09). Has a good record here including 14 wins. Faces similar opposition and can make it two on the bounce. CHANCE TO SHINE (5) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 318m behind JOE BANANAS (19.67) in a SPECA. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to her credit. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. OPAWA WINE (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out. Is new to the veteran grade.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (31.55) in a Class 2/3, finishing a 6 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from 12 starts. Makes appeal on best.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (18.97) over 318m at this track. Has claims on best form.

Good effort last time when second (19.21) over 318m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow her up.

Finished second last start (19.43) at big odds over 318m at this track. Jumps from the outside. Gets back and is a rough place chance..
