WIND RUSH (6) returns after 12 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1600m at Ellerslie. Looks up to the mark following a trial win at Taupo. Ready for a bold run. ON THE TOWN (8) finished third, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at Taupo. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. THE SKY ABOVE (12) is yet to break through but has been in the money seven times including last start when second over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on four occasions. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. One to consider. CAPTAIN STAN (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
