FLORENCE THE MACHINE (3) looks close to a win after placing in two of three starts at this circuit and distance this time in, both of them from wider barriers than this. Race fit now and should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so can break through. MAJESTIC ME (11) didn't have a lot of room when midfield last start at Oamaru but he has won a trial since and the previous two efforts here had merit. Contender with even luck. DONT LOOK KOBE (6) is on the radar after his last-start fifth from a couple of spots wider here a week ago. CLOVELLY HILL (7) has been solid in two outings here off a spell including a last-start fourth from this barrier. Building in fitness so respect.
