Main Danger
5 Bella Ragazza
F: 84X55B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Sam Spratt )

Highly tried when resuming three weeks ago against the likes of Pendragon and got too far back to have any chance at Rotorua last week. Rails draw today and extra distance will suit

F: 410B(12)W(59.0)

6 Coppers
F: X2096B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Wallace/Cooksley )
But for interrupted run in a tight finish at Pukekohe two back, might well have won. That was over today's distance and subsequent race was dropped back to 1300m. Good draw and back to 1600m, we like its chances
