Verdict

MARBLE ARCH (4) kicked off his career in good style a week-and-a-half ago, beaten 2.75 metres into third over 1 5/16m at Motukarara Raceway. LAST HONOURS (7) produced another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1 5/16m at Motukarara Raceway, adding to a good second on debut at this track the run prior. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. ALWAYS B HAYLEY (2) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1 ?m at this track. BARRACUDA (9) good effort on debut last start, finishing third over 1 ½m at Mt Harding. Has plenty of scope for improvement.
