ISLA ROCHELLE (3) has had eight weeks off but has trialled and races well when fresh. She was pulled up with a flat tyre when last seen but had some strong form prior including back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance. She should get her chance from the low draw. PABLO ROCKS (8) has the hoof on the till after seconds in two of his three starts so far this campaign, last time racing parked from this barrier and fighting well to go under narrowly. Big chance to go one better. LENNETH (2) was the horse to beat Pablo Rocks last time and that took his strike rate at the venue and distance to 50 per cent. Another low draw can see him in the action again. OHOKA COBRA (9) is a interesting newcomer from NZ to the Sofia Arvidsson stable. Draws wide and this is a higher-graded race than what he has been tackling across the Tasman but he has been very consistent, winning his last two. WAHAKA (4) goes up in grade but is in a purple patch of form, winning three on the trot.
