Prize Money: $6,091

GLASSES (8) last start finished 4th in a Class 3 on April 23 over 525m at this track behind Too Easy beaten 6 lengths (30.98). Has had more experience than most in this field over the middle distance. Looks well placed and should feature. CLASSY HUNTER (5) boasts a consistent overall record including six wins from 22 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (25.89) over 457m at Manawatu. Solid record here winning five races. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. TAPU GIRL (2) goes very well at the distance with four wins and a placing from six starts. Comes off a (25.70) win last time, scoring by 3 lengths in a Class 5 over 457m at Manawatu. Will be much better for having had a look at this track previously. Suited here and expected to run well. DEFER (3) returns here with a good chance to improve on last time. Having first try over this trip but races as though she will handle it.

Resumes from a nine weeks spell and was a fresh up winner last time in, scoring over 525m at this track. Recently had a solo trial (17.14) on this track over 295m. Will need some luck to feature.

Was edged out last time at Manawatu when beaten just half a length but did clock a solid 25.89 over the 457m journey. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors.

Missed the frame latest (30.98) when fourth over 525m at this track in a Class 3. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from six starts. Hard to beat with even luck.
