ROCKS ROY (8) added to a series of top-four finishes when third last start over 2500m at Burnie. Came from this handicap when scoring at the previous appearance at Launceston. Going well and has strong claims. INVITATION ONLY NZ (7) came from the back row and finished midfield when resuming last start, his first Tassie outing. Fitter and is suited up to a distance where he has won three of five attempts. KNOCK OUT NZ (1) is first up for four months but has won when fresh before so can open this campaign with a positive effort. SOUTHERN LUCK (2) has claims off a Launceston win two back.

Backs up 3 days after failing to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, beaten 22 m by Shes Allaboutluv (1:56.90) in NR 55 to 59 on March 15 at $41. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr3) at Launceston (2:04.00) beating Sue Nien in NR 50 to 59 on March 6 at $5. Better than last start and definitely worth another chance.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
