Race 6 D 2.5 AMALGAMATED PACKAGING HANDICAP $13,000, 2000 m 1 3080 Miles Better 16 G. Davidson 57.0 Recent campaign in north suggests age could be catching up with him. Nevertheless, top stayer at best with good record on course. 2 1921 Soaring High 4 R. Bruce 56.0 Last start winner over 1600 m on his home track at Washdyke and always a force to be reckoned with on winter tracks. 3 3314 Strategy 13 G. Phillips 53.5 Consistent northerner whose recent record includes a middle distance victory in heavy ground at Hastings in June. Last start fourth was among metric-milers at Awapuni. 4 4659 Royal Adder 10 J. Dowling 53.0 Has failed to recapture her top summer

form on latest campaign. 'Might find this a bit rich. 5 1534 El Valiente 19 M. Lyndon 52.5 Has continued in solid form since latest win against the metric-milers at Wanganui early last month. 6 1302 Rattle the Sabre 17 J. Collett 52.5 Bold finisher from back to finish second to In the Glen in last Saturday’s Ashley Meats Brabazon Handicap. Not the most consistent type but very good at his best. 7 1737 Lissom Lass 56 C. Johnson 52.0 Failed as a hurdler here last Saturday but shaped better to finish third to Proud Leigh and Soaring High on the flat at Washdyke at her previous start. 8 1196 Ace Harmony 8 R. McCann 51.5 Made some ground for sixth in last Saturday’s sprint and could be helped by longer journey this time. 9 5470 His Latest 7 51.5 Last season’s Dunedin Cup winner but showed nothing when resuming among the metricmilers at Washdyke last Saturday week. 10 8043 Nalu 14 B. Hibberd 51.5 “Starred” among the open stayers on first two days of this meeting last year when the first of her two wins was in this race. Shaped as if she might be close to best again with minor placings at her latest attempts. 11 0763 Noble Jewel 1 P. Richards 51.5 Turned in best effort this time up when third behind Soaring High and Red Consul at Washdyke last Saturday week. 12 0130 Samasaan 11 T. Matthews 51.5 Lack-lustre run in his lone attempt at Trentham last month was well below his best standard. Win, three starts back, was over a middle distance at Washdyke in June. 13 5070 Cahir 5 J. Oakeshott 51.0 Not long back from a spell. Has shown nothing in two starts this time up. 14 4335 Sandeeno 3 51.0 Capable mudlark which has been racing well lately for minor placings, the last two at Trentham. 16 2607 Gold King 9 50.5 Latest form not impressive but won a class 3 2000 m at this meeting last year. 17 5081 Mee Lai 18 2. Mathie 50.5 All-the-way winner against the class 3 stayers here last Saturday but this will be harder. 18 0870 Hwyl 2 50.0 Would have to improve vastly on anything he produced on recent campaign in the north. 19 9030 Rojeeni 15 J. Cameron 50.0 Weak effort against class 3 stayers here last Saturday. 20 8843 Sweet Chat 12 G. Elliot 50.0 Sound run for third against class 3 stayers here last week but opposition tougher this time. Emergency: Hwyl.

Race 8 D, TF 3.25 PAPARUA HANDICAP $7500, 1400 m 1 1458 Noble Note 3 C. Johnson 57.5 Failure in open sprint last Saturday was not altogether surprising in his second race after a spell. Should be further improved and could take beating this time. 2 1410 Chook A Rook 16... . S. Anderton 57.0 Always toiling in tricky going here last week but is better than that effort would indicate. Could be a different proposition on reasonable footing. 3 6221 Flying Tui 10 J. Collett 56.0 Capable mudlark which capped off some useful place form with impressive victory against the metric-milers at Awapuni last Saturday week. 4 7059 Queen’s Pal 8 J. Cameron 56.0 Top sprinter at peak but has been finding it hard lately to recapture her best form. 5 0610 Buffy Beaufort 6 M. Lyndon 55.5 Failed to show up when resuming against the open sprinters here last Saturday. Might need another but capable mare which could improve quickly.

6 0931 In the Glen 13 B. Hibberd 55.5 Recaptured best form with impressive win in open sprint here last Saturday. Must be regarded among brighter prospects again. 7 6120 Our Secret Weapon 1 . A. Robinson 55.0 Failed badly last week after promising fresh-up run against the sprinters at Washdyke the previous week. Could shape better this time. 8 0854 Bronze Valley 11 G. Phillips 54.5 Improver’s fourth among metric-milers at Trentham last time out. Lone win last season was over this distance at Awapuni in December but earlier was runner-up to Bracken Ridge in Winter Cup at this meeting. 9 8063 Respring 7 G. Davison 54.5 Capable sprinter which seldom runs poorly on this course. Must be rated sound chance after last Saturday’s open sprint third. 10 6020 Tirana 19 54.5 Best recent run was a close second to King Kaka at Ashburton in June. Faded quickly from front-end in corresponding event here last Saturday. 11 099 Noble River 15 J. Dowling 54.0 Made some ground late without ever looking a likely dividend-payer in sprint here last Saturday. 12 1101 Orb 9 R. Bruce 53.5 Made fresh start with an all-the-way win against the open sprinters on his home track at Washdyke last Saturday week. 13 3440 Upper Cut 2 P. Richards 53.0 Minor placings have been his lot for some time now. Marked improvement on last Saturday’s sprint run needed to be a winning chance. 14 2562 Hide the Loot 17 G. Elliot 52.5 Usual honest effort when second to Little Flutter last Saturday after brief break. This is harder but will command respect. 15 4675 Panther 20 S. Reid 52.5 Sound effort to finish fifth in open sprint last Saturday. Likely to make further improvement, especially with the prospect of better footing. 16 3053 Black Arrow 12 R. McCann 52.0 Has been battling to improve winning record this time up but must rate chance after last-start third behind Koberstein and Flying Tui at Trentham. 18 8064 Frederick the Great 5 J. O'Flanagan 51.0 Last-start fourth among sprinters at Washdyke but latest form all-round not very encouraging. 19 4250 Harbor Flo 4 51.0 Soundly beaten against less distinguished rivals than these last Saturday in her first race after a brief let-up. 20 0790 Paddy Beaufort 18 S. Quayle 51.0 Hard to fancy. Emergency: Harbor Flo. Scratched: Sea Fort. Race 9 T 4.5
