OLD TOWN ROAD (3) started at $4.50 last time on the back of a win at Hawera two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 1400m at New Plymouth Raceway. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHAJABA (1) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at New Plymouth Raceway. Generally runs well second-up and is among the winning hopes again. MAKE TIME (5) finished eighth when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1400m at New Plymouth Raceway, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BRADMAN (2) went forward over 1600m in Listed grade at this track last time but found a couple better. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings and has solid claims.
