OPAWA FREYA (5) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when second (26.30) at Cambridge Raceway. Solid record here winning four races. Overdue and expected to feature again. ALPINE JEWEL (6) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (31.05) last time in a Class 2 at Wanganui. Has a good record here at this journey. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Will appreciate a return to this venue and expected to run well. OPAWA KELSEY (8) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Has hit the frame at her last three runs, the latest finishing third (21.85) at Cambridge Raceway. Likely to be in the finish again. GO SKY (7) saluted at big odds last time and can measure up again. Jumped a lot better last start and proved to powerful late.

Backs up after finishing 5th on April 23 over 457m at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 1/2. Happy enough to avoid.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wanganui (31.05) in a Class 2, finishing a 13 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and six places from 16 starts. Expected to feature.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by a head at Cambridge Raceway over 375m (21.63) beating Sober Driver in Class 1 on April 23. Among the chances and worth following up.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd on April 23 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway behind Go Sky beaten 3 lengths (21.85) in a Class 1. Sure to play a big role.
