Prize Money: $5,455

MAILMAN'S COMING (3) jumped from this box last time and also the same course and distance when a 4.5 lengths third (26.15) in a Class 2. Is an honest chaser who always deserves to be run through combinations. RATHER CONVINCED (7) missed the frame but produced a quick 25.96 when fourth over 457m at this track last start in a Class 3. Usually gets back but finds the line stoutly. Looks a leading chance with luck in running. HONKY TONK HIGH (6) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at this track over 457m behind Jilliby Eaton (26.22) in a Class 3. Drops down in class from recent racing. Better than last start and can bounce back. ALL OVER ROVER (5) placed last time and cannot be ignored. Odds will be appealing.

Was out of placings last time when fourth (26.25) at this track in a Class 2. Will jump from box 1 for the first time. Capable of a good showing.

Solid performance to win by 4.5 lengths at this track over 457m (26.24) beating Cloud Booming in Class 1 on May 5. Would be better placed in something easier.

Hit the frame latest (26.15) when third at this track in a Class 2. Has two placings from three starts from the draw. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 457m in 25.71. Followed that up with a minor placing over 457m at this track at Class 2 a week ago. This appears within his reach.

Good performance to win by 1.3 lengths at Wanganui over 520m (30.55) beating Need A Dollar in Class 1 on May 1. Last run is a strong form reference. Looks one of the chances.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
