GO COOPER (5) has a strong record this trip with eight wins and four placings from 20 starts. Placed last time (25.93) at this track in a Class 3/4, finishing second and beaten 3 lengths. Looks suited here and rates on top. OPAWA INGRID (4) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (26.25), beaten 1.5 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. GONE WALKABOUT (6) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 3rd at Manukau over 527m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Leading chance. IVORY GIRL (7) has claims again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.5 lengths over 313m at Wanganui Straight in a handy 17.42, beating Double Cash. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.
