ASTURIA (5) Zipped home into 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Hastings but racing in stronger company. 1 win from 2 starts have been on soft going. Definite claims. SHE'S NO SAINT (4) Peaked on the run when 4th last time at the track but facing a stronger grade. Shows good early pace. Going well this campaign. Will be around the mark at odds. SHALABIYA (10) Good performance to run into 3rd beaten by 1L last time at Te Rapa and good career start. Prefers the sting out of the ground. Opie Bosson is highly regarded. Goes close. HAWEA (1) Finished well when winning last start at Hastings and putting a tidy record together. Unbeaten this campaign with 2 wins from as many runs but facing stiffer opposition. Will be competitive.
