BIG TIME LOCKEY (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with eight wins and seven minors from 22 tries. Comes off a (18.80) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a SPECA over 318m at this track. Rates on top and should go close. JOE BANANAS (7) stuck on well last time to finish 2 lengths back in third (18.94) at this track in a SPECA over 318m. Expected to be in the finish again. BIG TIME STICKER (8) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (18.09) over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Tricky draw to overcome. Prefer others.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a SPECA on March 2 over 318m at this track behind Big Time Lockey beaten 2 lengths (18.94). Overdue for a win and gets his chance this time.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (19.03) over 318m at this track. Boxed out wide but capable of a better result.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 318m at this track. Not likely to feature on this occasion.
