FIVE TO BACK

1 I SEE FIRE (R3, No 4): Hung terribly and still bolted in last start, suggesting he has an open class motor. If he trots all the way, should clean these up.

2 HOT AND TREACHEROUS (R7, No 6): Phenomenal in the 3-y-o boys Jewels after being three wide the last lap. Meets some classy opposition but has developed into a good horse.

3 MIDNIGHT DASH ( R4, No 7): Has been good to very good in open class races this season, was fourth in super strong Jewels and looks ideally suited tonight.

4 FOLKLORE ( R6, No 7): Two booming runs in the north and has the crucial advantage of Alexandra Park experience over key rival Tres Chic.

5 PEMBROOK PLAYBOY ( R8, No 11): Not an easy race but he is a NZ Cup horse later this year and the trainer is confident he is returning to something like his best. All he needs is the right cart into the race.
