Harbour Gold and Haiku Star should lock horns early at a strong tempo. PYROMANIA (4) kept fresh for this and back in trip after disappointing from the wide gate when 11th over 1400m at Wellington on April 12. Undefeated this trip and expected to bounce back to form from the inside gate. PANUARA BOY (1) has switched yards to the Kevin Dixon stable after finishing a gritty fifth five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Grafton. Trained on the track and back sharply in grade. Go close. FLYING BANJO (2) chasing his third-straight victory today after charging late for a strong win over 1200m at Quirindi on April 30. Goes well here and Grima keeps the ride with the 3kg claim. HARBOUR GOLD (8) lightly raced gelding from the Cavanough yard with ability. Even return when a tiring fifth over 1000m at this track on April 26. Improver who will need luck from the sticky gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,1,2,8.
