2 Monsoon Knight
F: 2XB(8)W(58.0)
( J-Per-Anders Graberg )
( T-James/Wellwood )
Only the one run last year, in May, when well backed and finished well for second. Spelled and now resuming and, given that second was behind Orchestral, if it has developed half as well as that one, it will win

4 Varallo

( J-Billy Jacobson )

That was a nice first up run and signalled that the ability was there. Excusing subsequent run when it got back from wide draw and was never going well after that

7 Si Exquis
F: 23B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-S & K Alexander )
Has run well in both races to date, and a deserved favourite on that form. Might win but, with being drawn a bit wide, we feel there's better value in other runners

Once it overcame a difficult first half of the race, was finished on nicely up the straight. Only third race now so will be still improving

( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-Paul Richards )
Showed a nice turn of pace in the last 200m when winning on debut and, but for for being denied a run when needed last start, would be two from two. 2kg claim and can make amends here
Main Danger
2 Little Bit Of Love
F: 917B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-O'Sullivan/Scott )
Just the three starts. After seeing support on debut, duly converted that confidence into a nice winning performance second up. Pretty good run in a stronger field last time and has to be followed

F: 7X101B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Lynsey Satherley )

Ran third on Millions night as a two year but never reached expectations after that. But looks to be back to its best this term and it rates a strong chance to go back to back here

Te Akau runner that got a deserved win on home track two weeks ago, having run second 5 times previous. They often go on with it after they break maidens and this one might well do that. Rails draw

1 Naxos
F: 1B(3)W(57.0)

Just OK in two trials prior so it was a surprise to see it win on debut, albeit aided by a lovely ride by South African jockey Billy Jacobson.

( J-Lynsey Satherley )
( T-Bruce Harvey )
Only two lengths off useful Jaffira two back before being the 'run of the race' last start, coming from the back with a huge run in the straight. Lynsey Satherley takes the reins today and will ensure it has every chance
Main Danger
7 Balance Of Power
F: X4154B(9)W(58.0)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
This Te Akau runner has a lot of ability and, although fourth, was beaten less than a 1/2 length when resuming at Pukekohe three weeks ago. Prior to that it was competed well in a 3yo Stakes race
Next Best
4 King Of The North
F: 431B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Ace Lawson-Carroll )
( T-O'Sullivan/Scott )
Has been progressive in all three starts, winning its last. Has looked better the further it's gone, indicating the 1600m will be just perfect
