Hastings

OUR SNIPER (5) First up from a break of 27 weeks and ran over the top of them when winning first up last preparation at Woodville. Down in trip. Appears well in this. MAROTIRI MARSTA (1) Good effort to run 3rd last start at Awapuni but will have to carry extra weight. Shows good closing speed. Exhibiting good form this campaign. Strong chance. DEEP PURSUIT (7) Faded at the finish when 3rd beaten by 4 1/4L last time around here and showing improvement in recent outings. Won't be far away during the run. Will be competitive. ALIYANA BELLE (8) Ordinary performance when 14th last start at Wanganui. Can take this out.
