HACKSAW RIDGE (7) has been knocking on the door for a while then went close again last time over 2200m at Wingatui, finishing second as the favourite and just 1.4 metres from the winner. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. HALEY JACCKA (10) won at Addington two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at her latest appearance when finishing fourth as the favourite over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 6 metres. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Meets a similar line up and she can get the job done. SEASIDE ROSE (11) cannot be ruled despite the tricky draw. Won here in only previous run and on best efforts has definite winning claims. STEP IT UP A NOTCH (9) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 2200m at Wingatui last time out when trying to lead all of the way.
