Stake: $4,100

CARAT SMUGGLER (2) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (39.37) last time in a Class 1 at this track. Solid record here winning two races. Has ability and is a key runner. OPAWA JIMMY (6) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 10 lengths (18.72) at Manukau in a Class 0 over 318m. In form and can go on with it. KOOKABURRA BOB (8) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (26.54) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Wanganui Straight. Is always slow to jump but has a big finish. Rates a solid place chance today. TIN TIN BUST (3) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (39.37) in a Class 1, finishing a 16 length seventh. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Expected to be in the finish.

Modest effort last time out when fifth over 457m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Proved a class above after running them ragged to make it two on end at Manukau over 318m (18.72). Is two from two and and looks a key chance again if runs up to latest.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (17.60) over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Meets a tough line-up.
