Race 3 Ruakaka, Saturday July 1

CHEVRON

Appeals as an early banker after an unlucky fresh-up third and a step up in distance. Home track stats, including two starts and two placings at 2100m, make a strong case.

Race 3 Hastings, Saturday July 1

SULIMAN

Looked a budding hurdle star late last jumps season and has continued on that path with Awapuni Hurdle win. Last-start fifth on the flat should have him primed for this.

Race 4 Wingatui, Sunday July 2

PRINCE ALBY

First start for nearly two months but his track and distance stats put him right in the mix.
