PROSERVE (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in sixth last time out over 2000m at this track. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. BELLA LUCE (9) fought on to score a narrow win at this track over today's trip at her last appearance on April 12. Down in the weights this time so she is right in contention. ROYAL VALOUR (6) finished second at Ashburton two runs back but was less effective last time over 2000m at this track, finishing 3.5 lengths back in seventh. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MAXIMUS AUGUSTUS (1) raced below his best last time when tenth over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed to turn things around.
