THAT'S CONTACT (7) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 3.5 lengths at Wanganui Straight in a handy 17.67. Wide box to overcome but in form and has the ability. Yet to taste defeat from two runs out of this box. Expected to be right there at the finish again. BIG TIME KIMETTO (3) jumped quickly from box two to score by a space (21.36) two back then drew the same last time and could manage only a neck 2nd at Wanganui (17.87). Got the money at his only try from this box. Reliable box manners and can feature again. JILLIBY EATON (6) had been racing in honest fashion recording three placings in a row before finishing fourth (18.07) at Wanganui latest. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of three starts. Strong form has emerged from her last run. One of the better hopes. LET'S GO BARBIE (4) was unplaced here last start but gets her chance to atone. Usually begins quickly.

Modest effort last time out when fifth over 305m at Wanganui. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
