SHAWSHANK (4) has come of age in his last couple of starts, and this lightly tried 6-year-old gelding will be chasing a hat-trick of wins here. He is nicely weighted after a 2kg claim and can get the job done again. RAGAMUFFIN (7) is a handy gelding at this level, and he copes with a wet track no problem. He has been tuned up with a recent trial, and can figure in the finish. Each way value. FLORIN (8) made a better beginning last start and was too strong for her rivals, scoring by a length. She drops 3.5kg from that run, and can repeat the dose. SHELBYROCK'N (1) was the first beaten in a strong field at New Plymouth last start. When she leads uncontested, then she becomes hard to peg back. Don't drop her yet.

Comments
At the latest run couldn't go on with it; ran last of 14 at New Plymouth Raceway on August 16 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Chantilly Lace carrying 56.5kg at $12.60. The race before that scored a big 15 len win at New Plymouth Raceway July 19 over 1600m in the wet defeating Loch Katrine carrying 54kg at $11.60. Rates highly in this, and can bounce back.
Third-up today and won third-up previously. Comes off a 43 day let-up. Resuming 3rd of 7 at Otaki on July 8 over 1200m, in the wet; 1.75 len behind Peppery carrying 57.5kg at $9.80. Second-up struggled in the run home; ran last of 8 at Otaki on July 26 over 1400m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Knock Off with 57kg at $11.20. Well placed and can return to form.

Racing well recently. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at New Plymouth Raceway August 16 over 1400m on a heavy track defeating Explosive Impact with 57kg at $5. Before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 12 at Te Rapa on July 26 over 1200m, in the wet; 1.75 len behind Moneypenny with 56.5kg at $8.60. Solid form this prep. Looks well placed here. 1400m tick. Top chance.

Racing well recently. Most recently came from midfield and won by a nose at this track August 17 over 1400m on a heavy track defeating Crunchie Boy carrying 54.5kg at $16.10. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Otaki on July 26 over 1400m, on a wet track; 3 len behind My Alibi with 55.5kg at $12.90. Going well and is one of the better chances.

Second run back. First-up after eight months second last of 10 at this track on August 17 over 1400m, on heavy track; 15 len behind Turnmeon carrying 59.5kg at $14.10. Previously second-up 4th of 10 at Waverley on October 9 over 1650m, on heavy track; 2.25 len behind Lovely Rita carrying 58.5kg at $2. Prefer in something easier.
