There’s a couple of handy race fit fillies in here, however I’m expecting her to make a nice return to racing.RACE 3 @ 6.40PM - #2 BUDDY GOODHe’s another whose workout form has had plenty of merit. While it’s a tidy field, he should be right amongst it.RACE 3 @ 6.40PM - #3 CRITICAL IMAGEWe saw an improved performance last start.

While the favourite looks hard to contain, she’s going to get a good trip. She’d have to be an each way chance.RACE 2 @ 6.42PM - #7 SIGNMANEscaping Auckland company looks a big assist. He’d have to be one of the key runners.RACE 2 @ 6.42PM - #8 NIGHT MOVESI’m hoping she’s derived plenty of confidence from her last start win. She fits into the race well, so like her stablemate looks a bright hope....

While it’s a tricky draw, the plus is a small field. The long Ashburton straight gives him plenty of time to get into the race. I’m expecting a forward showing....

It looks as though he’ll get a sweet trip so is a must include in all combinations.RACE 4 @ 6.43PM - #2 CRITICAL IMAGEWhile he may have been disappointing a fortnight ago, we did find a problem. Stick with him in what looks a winnable race.RACE 6 @ 7.48PM - #2 FINAL CHANGEHe pushed his stablemate hard last week. The key advantage is the front tape. You can’t leave him out.RACE 6 @ 7.48PM - #7 LITTLE SPIKEA drop i...

Let’s hope he gets some luck.RACE 6 @ 7.50PM - #1 FINAL CHANGEIt was a non event last week. He’ll get a cosy trip so needs to be included in all combinations.RACE 6 @ 7.50PM - #2 NAZAREFrom a perfect alley he has to get top billing.RACE 8 @ 8.53PM - #4 SIGNMANIt’s a great field so we’ll be hoping to land a handy spot.

It’s a handy field, but if things go his way he’ll be right amongst it.RACE 8 @ 8.50PM - #6 FINAL CHANGEHe hit the line with purpose last start. While there’s some nice 3 year olds in here, he’ll go his usual honest race.RACE 8 @ 8.50PM - #9 LULANAI would have been happy with any draw bar the one she got.

Having said that, he’ll go an honest race.RACE 6 @ 8.00PM - #7 THE SURFERA small field and the back mark over a sprint makes it tough. That aside, it’s a significant drop in company.
