ALBERTON ANGEL (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.1 lengths when fifth in a 1200m contest at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. DISTRICT NINE (7) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 5.5 lengths when eighth over 1200m at this track three weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SAKURAJIMA (15) did little and finished 10 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1600m at Wingatui last start, a less impressive effort than her ninth at Wingatui the run before. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. PORTHOUSE LADY (9) last appeared when she finished ninth over 1150m at Kumara on January 11. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
