SIMPLY OPTIMISTIC: If the wrap is right should be too good in third today. LA TURQUE: Foxton trial win was good, watch on debut from Peter Larmer stable. WAIKATO – Ross Fisher SHELLEZ ACE: Consistent type that looks capable of going a lot further, follow. BELLE DU NORD: Didn’t see her best around Taupo over 1100m, improver. WILDFLOWER: Her fresh-up outing at Te Rapa suggests she goes close next time. CENTRAL DISTRICTS – PAUL GUEORGIEFF ART DECO: Beat two home last start but was less than two lengths from winner; improver. JET CHARGED: Strong from last for fourth over 1200m at just second start of new campaign. KEEP THE MOMENT: Top run for fourth over 1400m from rear at home turn and wide in straight. CANTERBURY – Mat Kermeen ONE DIRECTION: Form is better than it looks on paper and can go close in race six at Forbury today. VALMAGNE: Form has dropped off but better for recent racing and race eight at Forbury is not strong. THENAMESBOND: Drop back in class will be a major asset in race five at Te Aroha. SOUTHLAND – Mac Henry CANARDLY LOVER: Parked for most of first lap at Gore then got the shuffle. Impressive when clear. BENIO BEN: Buried back on inner at Gore before rocketing home. Took two good ones to beat him. PATS LEGACY: Shuffled back at Gore, checked, then nowhere to go in straight. Value next time. GREYHOUNDS – Peter Earley WONG WAY: Forget he went around at Cambridge. found trouble, from one box in the sixth today, makes amends. SEE AYE AYE: Needs to jump on terms in the last today, charging home after slow beginning at Cambridge. VIDEO WATCH – Murray Wedlake BORN A ROYAL: Was held up for a time in the Oamaru straight and has not had a lot of luck so far this season. PUKEAKE SAM: Seemed to have his Ellerslie race in safe keeping until he made a horrible mess of last fence. CARILLION: Came home well for sixth at Woodville on debut and promises to be better for the experience.
