LORD MUDRICK (4) had put together a string of strong performances then was again in fine form last start when he finished second over 2600m at Phar Lap Raceway, beaten 1.1 metres. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. TEN DA TOUCH (1) finished seventh last start over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 6 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of taking this out. ANYTIME AT ALL (7) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Phar Lap Raceway over 2600m. HE'S TOUGH (9) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 4 metres into third at Phar Lap Raceway. Include in combinations.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing eighth behind Enya Franco at this track over 2400m in a 4yo+ on March 26 at $5.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third behind Onwardsandupwards at Addington over 2600m in a 4yo+ on April 9 at $5. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
