Verdict

BEACHBREAK (9) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. BLAZE LIGHTENING (7) recorded a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1 ½m at Central Southland Raceway. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. OUR TWINKLE (5) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1 ½m at Central Southland Raceway last time out. ALWAYS BE BOOTIE (10) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 1 ?m at this track two runs back.
