CARRERA HOMBRE (7) after winning an eight runner trial was sent out as the odds-on favourite last start when resuming from spell over 2600m at this track but was never in the hunt after breaking from the standing start. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but racing today with a mobile start can figure in the finish. ROUTE SIXTY SIX (2) went well to finish third two starts ago, then registered a comfortable win last start, scoring by 5 metres over 1980m at this track when he led all the way. Has the benefit of a good draw and he can go right on with the job. BETTOR OFF (3) is better than her first-up seventh over 2000m at Rangiora as the favourite three-and-a-half weeks ago would suggest. Fitter and can atone. QUICKER THAN QUICK (1) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1980m at this track after he had drawn out wide. Drawn better today and has each-way claims.
