|---|---|---|---|---|

EMPIRE STATE (9) has needed all 3 starts back from a spell, and he was well found in the market when finishing sixth in this role at Te Aroha 3 weeks ago. He will enjoy racing in this direction, and he is expected to figure in the top 3 this time. PRINCE TURBO (3) never stops in his races, and he was a brave third in the Grand National Steeplechase 8 days ago. 4000m may be on the short side for him, but if the track is very heavy, then he can figure in the top 3 again. SAINT BERNARD (4) is a dashing jumper when his mind is on the job, and he is in a good space right now. Include in all combos. LEITRIM LAD (1) dropped his rider last time out, but he is good enough to bounce back into the money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Empire State at value.
