ROCABURY (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when tenth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1600m at Wanganui. First try at the trip but he strips fitter and is the one they have to beat. JESKO (1) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by a head over 2200m at Waverley. Good record at this journey with two wins and three minor placings from seven starts and should be in the finish. NEVER LOOK BACK (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 5 when beaten 7 lengths into seventh at Wanganui over 2050m. Has the talent to take care of this field. FOURTY EIGHT (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Hawera over 3100m on August 25. Has switched to the Shaun Fannin & Hazel Fannin yard. Has to be respected.
