PLEASING (4) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at Wanganui. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ZA SPIRIT (8) went to the lead from the low draw last time out and was still there on straightening, eventually finishing third over 1340m at Wanganui. Sure to give a sight. VICTORTHEINFLICTOR (6) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at Hastings. Looks a strong top-three prospect. BOLD CHOICE (9) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 4 lengths back in fifth over 1100m at Trentham. Can feature in the finish.
