FLYING HOLME (6) finished second last start over 1980m at Addington, beaten 0.8 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2000m at Rangiora. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. FRANCO ANKARA (3) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Has the benefit of a good draw. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. FRANCO LOMU (10) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1980m at Addington. A must for the exotics players. HARRY'S GOLD (1) is stepping out for the first time. By Gold Ace and hails from the Ross Cameron stable. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Trial winner who looks above average and makes plenty of appeal.
