OPAWA BARRY (8) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into third last time out (18.06) over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Better than latest and can atone here. CHANCE TO SHINE (7) resumed in a Class 2/3 at this track and finished fifth over 318m (19.11). Will strip fitter for the run. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Can measure up this time. BIG TIME FABIO (3) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (19.10) in a SPECA at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Key player on best and worth another try. PHOTONIC SHADOW (6) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

MPS Fencing Sprint
GO COHEN (4) is having his first look at this course. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 6 lengths (31.08) at Addington. Has ability and looks hard to stop. SPEEDY PETE (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Panda Express (19.01) in a Class 0. Has the pace to be prominent. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Leading player again. LION BE GOOD (5) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 6 lengths into third (19.18) at this track in a Class 0 over 318m. Expected to be in this for a long way. ON STRIPE (6) gets a chance to redeem on an unplaced effort here when making his debut.

THRILLING LAD (7) was always well back but did hit the line strongly late to finish 4th and beaten only 3 lengths (21.64) at Cambridge Raceway. Rates on top in this line up. WAERENGA SONIC (5) missed the frame last time when fourth (18.96) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Can measure up this time. STOP WORKING (4) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 18.94 beating Dashing Blazer. Was a winner at her only start from this draw. One of main contenders. YOUTAN POLUO (8) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when third (18.87) at this track in a Class 1. Each-way claims.

Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from nine starts. Winning claims.

Finished in the minors latest when second (26.05) at Cambridge Raceway and may be close to breaking through. Must be included in calculations.
