HEZA SHARP ONE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2200m at Arawa Park, beaten 37 lengths into ninth. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. STAGE THREE (12) improved sharply on her 13th two starts back at Te Rapa with a win over 1400m at this track a month ago, getting home by one length. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. CHUR NIBBLE (16) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role. LIVE ON AIR (10) finished third at Te Rapa two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1600m at New Plymouth Raceway, finishing 6 lengths back in seventh. Nicely placed to bounce back.
