Verdict

FOLIEJON STAR (7) ran fifth last start at Motukarara Raceway over 1 ¼m, beaten 4 metres. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a big race. NOT OVER (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.5 metres from the winner in second over 1 ?m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can grab that well-deserved win. ARCHER (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1 5/16m at Motukarara Raceway. TOPAZ (10) is better than her last-start eighth over 1 ¼m at this track would suggest. Can place.
