Verdict

DROP OF SOMETHING (1) was a narrow winner two starts ago at Te Rapa and was narrowly beaten last time out at this track. A 4kg claim will help him, and a return to winning form is on the cards. BOSCH (3) comes off a last-start win over 2200m at this track when beating the top pick after showing early speed and leading all the way to win by a head. With Samantha Collett aboard again, another bold performance is expected. QUICK FIRE (6) raced well last start, finishing third over 2200m at Te Rapa, beaten just 1.5 lengths as the favourite. Well-placed here and likely to be right in the finish again. DIAMOND JAK (5) has missed the placings in his last two outings and was only 1.5 lengths off the winner when fifth last start over 2200m at this track. Stick with him on an each-way basis. TRAV (2) finished fourth at Wanganui fresh up when peaking on his run late. He is not out of this, so stick with him.

Recent form sound. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on September 6 over 2200m, on a slow track; head behind Bosch carrying 58kg at $4.40. The start before that favourite; won by a nose at Te Rapa August 23 over 2100m in the wet defeating Tregor carrying 56kg at $4.50. Looks tough to beat in this line-up.

Form hard to fault. Last start won by a head at this track September 6 over 2200m on a soft track defeating Drop Of Something carrying 54kg at $4.60. The start before that 4th in a small field at Ruakaka on August 16 over 1400m, in the wet; 6 len behind Tuxedo with 54kg at $8.80. Multiple winner over this distance and worth following up.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 56 day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 14 at Te Rapa on July 26 over 2200m, in the wet; 1.5 len behind Diamond Jak with 54kg at $2.50. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Te Rapa July 5 over 2400m in the wet defeating Arjay's Flight with 54.5kg at $3.80. Going well enough to take this out.
