BIG TIME FERN (7) stuck on well last time to finish one length back in second (17.80) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 3 over 313m. Deserves serious consideration.

Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from eight starts. Cannot be left out. EPIC IN TROUBLE (2) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box. Include in all combinations.

Did a good job two starts back at Manukau to win by a head in 18.76, beating Youtan Poluo. Last start finished 4th over 318m at Manukau beaten 4.5 lengths (19.05) behind You Pick One in a Class 3 on April 13. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Was out of placings last time (26.72) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 3/4, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting five victories and seven places from 20 starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Dual acceptor. Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Can't recommend her in this.

Dual acceptor. Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
