ORANGE RIVER (9) was beaten just a nose last start when fresh from a spell and landed her first top-three finish in the process over this track and trip. Has taken a while to hit form but can open her account this time. RIO GRANDE (3) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 1.2 lengths from the winner in third over 1300m at this track. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. THINK I GOT CHA (2) hit the frame two starts ago at Hawera but ran below par last time when 11th and beaten 6 lengths over 1200m at Ellerslie after being prominent at the turn. Finds a nice race and can get the job done. XPLORER (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in third over 1550m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
