SO STRICT (6) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for two wins and three minors. Comes off a (39.04) win last time, scoring by 0.9 lengths in a Class 0 over 660m at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. BIG TIME ASHTON (7) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including three wins. Was out of the placings last time (30.97) at Wanganui in a Class 4, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths. Among the main chances. BIG TIME TAMA (1) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.75 lengths (30.22) behind Big Time Zip at Wanganui. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Must be included in calculations. OPAWA JORDAN (2) won with authority last start. Sure to run well again.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 520m at Wanganui in a handy (30.16), beating Thrilling Sammy. Racing well and can win again.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (30.41) over 520m at Wanganui. Draws an inside box and capable of a better result.

Was out of placings last time when sixth (30.97) at Wanganui in a Class 4. Will jump from box 7 for the first time. Looks suited and should go close.
