BLACKBOOKERS

Matamata Friday May 13

LEX REX: Didn’t quite deliver on heavy support, but fourth place on debut was still a good enough effort to suggest he won’t be long breaking through.

Rotorua Saturday May 14

RUA ROCKS: As honest as they come with yet another placing after being on the sped throughout. Always delivers a run for your money, so stay with him.

Hawera Saturday May 14

KELLY COE: Much more like it, staying on gamely for third after challenging on the turn. Further improvement likely.
