MAJOR HAPPY (9) was racing well but struggling to win before the latest appearance when she scored by 2.25 metres over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and she can salute once again. SWIFT GUY (11) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when he scored by a neck over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Recent effort is good enough to take out a race like this. HARRY BELAFONTE (12) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at Addington over 1980m. Must be included. SANTANNA MACH (5) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind The Bettor Major at Addington over 1980m on August 3 at $12.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Carlin at Ashburton Raceway over 2400m in a 3yo+ on August 10 at $4.90. With even luck is a winning chance.

Last start won by a neck (Fr3) at Ashburton Raceway (3:05.00) beating Pacific Thunder in 3yo+ on August 10 at $6.20. Has upside and is among the winning chances.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Berrettini at Addington over 1980m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres second at Ashburton Raceway over 2400m in 4yo+ on August 10. Will give a good account.
