HARVEY WALLBANGER (1) Came on strongly when 2nd last run at this track and facing a weaker group of contenders. First start for a new trainer and good career start. Looks well suited in this race. STATE THE OBVIOUS (5) Finished with purpose when winning last start at Te Aroha but competing at a higher level of competition. Should muster plenty of early speed. Respect against this field. BOURBON TIME (9) 2yo debutant by Exceed And Excel for trainer Stephen Marsh. Watch for a sign in the market. SINGLETARY (2) Just missed last time at this track and fitter for debut run. Opie Bosson is a crucial engagement but racing in stronger company. Will be motoring home late. Will be around the mark at odds.
