FLYHALF (5) will be peaking third up from a spell, and she returned to form with a solid third at Ellerslie over 1200m a fortnight ago. She is knocking on the door and is overdue for her first win. ODDS AND ENDS (1) has yet to break through after 9 starts, but he has shown enough to suggest a maiden win isn't far away. He is drawn to get every chance, and he should be right in the thick of things. PLATINUM NORWAY (6) battled on gamely last start over 1360m for fifth when peaking on his run late. Her prior second at Waipukurau reads well for this race, and dropping back 160m could make all the difference this time. Each way. CONGOLIAN (3) makes his race debut after catching the eye at the trials, and he is in good hands. He has the pole position, and he profiles as one to keep very safe in betting. YALDY TIME (4) has won both of his public trials, including his last start at Foxton when scoring by 7 lengths. He will be ready to rumble and is sure to attract plenty of attention.

Was in the money on debut two starts back at this track but followed up with a moderate performance when tenth over 1400m at Ellerslie last time. Big chance to turn things around.

Jungle Cat gelding from Miss Kindilan on debut. Ran second at recent trial. Shapes as a leading prospect.

Talented three-year-old gelding with two wins from two trials, most recently at Foxton over 1000m. Strong trial form should stand up. Expect a strong showing based on that trial form.

Started at a big price on debut last start and reflected that lack of market confidence when 5 lengths back in sixth over 1000m at Tauherenikau. Better for that experience but happy enough to avoid.
