Plenty of pressure primarily from Keeping Time, Snipsnap and Blue Rata Warea. I DON'T (4) should continue a good day for the Alan Sharrock stable. She was game in defeat at New Plymouth just over a month ago when finishing runner-up and will now be seasoned enough to cope with what is likely to be a very testing track here. On top. JUST A TIPPLE (1) has fought on gamely in his last couple of starts further North, and he did win his only start here. He will be fully fit now and ready to show some decent form again. EXPLOSIVE IMPACT (6) ended her last prep with a maiden win here nearly a year ago. She is bred to improve with more racing, and a recent trial at Foxton will ensure that she is ready to rumble fresh up. A market watch is advised. BRUNO (5) has had a freshen up since failing to fire at Waverley in April. He was close up in a recent trial and is probably worth including in all combinations to be safe. HORONUKU (2) won at BM60 level in his penultimate start but was not so good at New Plymouth just over a month ago. He has place claims in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Don't should go close to taking this out.
