Verdict

HELP ME (8) ran fourth last start at Waterlea Raceway over 1 ½m, beaten 15 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. REPENDANT (15) ran fifth last start at Oamaru over 1 ¼m, beaten 45 metres. Expecting a very good run. GIMME THREE STEPS (6) disappointed last time when 12th over 1 ¼m at Rangiora. Can bounce back. NEIL WILLIAM (5) disappointed last time when sixth over 1 ³/16m at Addington. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
