SANDY LANE (8) finished 5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at New Plymouth Raceway two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Expected to be in the finish. COCKTAIL LAD (5) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2040m at Wanganui, beaten 6 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. FREEBELLE (6) recorded a strong maiden win over 1600m at New Plymouth Raceway last time, getting there by 2 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Tricky draw to overcome but she is definitely worth including. GREY INVADOR (4) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 2040m at Wanganui, finishing 12 lengths from the winner. Major player.
