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

A strong pace on the cards with Hey Hey Hey, Relentless and Prince Turbo likely to roll along early. OUTER FOCUS (2) resumed from a short spell, and charged through the inside to finish runner-up at Waipukurau last week over 1600m. He had won a trial before that, and he should be spot on with his fitness now. The extra 400m is ideal, and with a drop in class, he can go one better. CONEY ISLAND (1) raced his way into form when on late for second at Whanganui 15 days ago. That placing has been a long time coming, and now with his confidence back, along with added fitness, he will be hard to hold out. RELENTLESS (3) is a talented 3YO gelding who resumed in a lot stronger field at Ellerslie nearly a month ago, and needed the hit-out, peaking late before weakening out of it. The extra 450m is ideal, and he is expected to finish a lot closer this time. SACRED ZED (4) had a tough trip from a wide gate when fresh at Woodville on Wednesday, and he will be a lot sharper for this. A heavy track will bolster his top 4 claims. CRY BABY (10) is not the worst at blowout odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Outer Focus can win.
