POSITIVE PENNY (6) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and three placings from six starts.

MAPLE LEAF (5) recorded a win over the 375m at Manawatu in a respectable 21.54 last start. In form and looks a leading player again.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 313m at this track in a handy (17.77), beating Stolen Sapphire. Others read better.

Was out of placings last time (21.77) at Manawatu in a Class 3, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minors. Others appear better placed.

Latest effort finished 2nd on June 12 over 520m at Whanganui behind Long Non White beaten 0.7 lengths (30.40) in a Class 2/3. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this draw. Looks hard to beat here.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 5 lengths behind Forever A Fairy over 313m. Needs it easier.

Working her way into winning form after her success on May 12 at Manawatu over 375m. Last start was second over 313m in 17.59, behind Big Time Ashton. Found one better last time. Top-three hope with the right run.
