RUM NIGHT (9) was in the firing line on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 2200m at Waverley after missing the placings at the previous appearance. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. HE'S A BATTLER (2) finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1600m at Wanganui three days ago. Steps up in journey today. Solid winning chance. GALLANT HERO (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 19 when beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth at Ellerslie over 2100m. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. REV IT UP RUSTY (8) showed good speed and fought on for third over 2200m at Trentham last time. Do not underestimate.
