SENSE OF TIMING (2) hit the frame two starts ago at Matamata but ran below par last time when 12th and beaten 4 lengths over 1600m at Ellerslie after being in the firing line on the turn. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. AWATERE (3) resumed three weeks ago over 1200m at Ellerslie and was only beaten 1.1 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find winning form. URLAR (14) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 1400m at Matamata, scoring by a long neck. Re-unites with Warren Kennedy who was on board last start. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. MOOD PAINTER (17) took advantage of the good draw and sat on the pace last start before tiring to finish seventh, beaten 9 lengths, over 1400m at Matamata. Solid top-three prospects.
