Trainers Mark Purdon and Grant Payne should continue on their winning way at the Reefton meeting at Addington tonight.
The Rolleston stable won five races at the premier meeting at Addington last Saturday, taking their tally for the season to 101.
They have Living The Dream, Paramount Queen, Twist And Twirl, Harrison Maguire, Arden Tetrick and Kotare Mahal as leading prospects tonight.
Harrison Maguire won last Saturday when Living The Dream, Paramount Queen and Arden Tetrick were placed. Kotare Mahal was running on for sixth.
Twist And Twirl, who is in a heat of the Sires' Stakes, won a heat of the series at Addington on March 16 at her last start. She won the Northern Oaks at her previous start.
Living The Dream is a dual acceptor with his first assignment in race 3.
• Sno's Big Boy is well placed to make a winning comeback at Alexandra Park tonight, The New Zealand Herald reports.
The winner of 12 races, he has four rivals in race 2.
Sno's Big Boy was an open-class force before injury forced him aside.
The 7yr-old is now with Michelle Wallis for beach training at Waiuku. He has had a second and a win at workouts "
He is forward and I have been happy with his trials but not many horses win in this grade fresh-up after 14 months off," Wallis said.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he won but I also get the feeling his lack of racing might just tell against him."
Wallis has Superbowlcheerleader, a sound chance in race 10. The 3yr-old filly was an easy winner at Cambridge at her last start.
"She might be more comfortable left-handed at this stage but she can definitely win," Wallis said.
David Butcher has chosen to drive Jarcullembra, one of four horses from the Ian Small stable in a six-horse free-for-all tonight.
Jarcullembra is back in class after finishing eighth in the Auckland Cup.
• Pylons will be in place at the Banks Peninsula Trotting Club meeting on Sunday.
They will be installed on the grass track from just past the winning post and ease out to 3m. They will carry on to the 800m. From the 800m until the home straight the pylons will be out 2m. This, in effect, will create a passing lane at the entrance of the home straight.
The pylons were required after the thoroughbred meeting on April 3 had rendered the track unsafe.
A delegation consisting of stipendiary stewards, HRNZ track consultant John Denton and Motukarara track manager Scott Edmonds inspected the track last week.
