PORTLAND NICKY (3) is a talented type who has been in the money at the last three starts, the latest finishing second (18.75) at Manukau. Goes very well at the trip finding the frame in each of three starts. Has the ability and looks a key chance this line-up. THRILLING LAD (5) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing eighth (19.42) in a Class 2 at Manukau. Form here at the trip sound including five wins. In the mix. GO LUNA (7) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at Wanganui Straight in a handy 17.50 beating Swift Shadow. One of the prime contenders. CHEF'S MATE (1) won well here two starts back and can sneak into the finish.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 375m at this track beaten 4 lengths (21.47) behind Go Tilly in a Class 2 on October 24. Placed two back at this track. Is a danger.
