Not seeing a great deal of early speed. LOOSE JEWELS (1) ran on late when finishing runner-up behind an impressive winner at Waipukurau just over 3 weeks ago. He stays at the mile, but has a superior gate, and is ready now to go one better. MAJOR HOULIHAN (8) will be making her debut without any public trials, but she has been reported to be working the house down, and there are jumpouts held around her training area, so she will be ready to rumble. SAVACHI BOY (2) has been thereabouts in 4 starts this prep, and will continue to improve with further fitness and maturity. Include in all combinations. DOUBLE SHOT (7) won a trial prior to hitting the line strongly for fourth in the same race as the top pick. She will naturally improve second up and should be among the top 4 again. Each way. WIGMORE (3) ran on too late when finishing fifth in a 7-horse field on debut at Waverly nearly 4 weeks ago. Her lead-up trial form was solid, and the step up to a mile is ideal. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: Major Houlihan each way.
