Solid tempo anticipated with Nightreign heading them off. SATOMI (2) found the finish line with a lot of purpose at Te Rapa nearly 3 weeks ago when finishing fifth and just over a length from the winner that day. He needs the ground to be heavy, and with conditions to suit him, he should be hard to hold out. EARLY TIMES (1) battled away late when finishing a well-beaten second at Woodville 12 days ago over 1600m. The extra 600m is what he is looking for, and his first win should not be too far away. OUR BOY ARCHIE (5) battled away well at Otaki last start despite being hampered by a fallen runner during that race. He is good enough to win a race like this, so stick with him. JIM DANDY (8) motored home late at Otaki fresh up from a spell when losing his place at the top of the straight. Both horse and rider would have learned a lot from that recent outing, and they get their chance to set the record straight in this. Each-way value. LUCKYTOBEHERE (12) battled on gamely after leading at Awapuni-synthetic last week. Include in all combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Boy Archie, and Jim Dandy are both each-way chances.
