Very impressive winning at only second time of asking at Whanganui in February. But punters got their fingers burnt at Otaki two weeks ago when it was beaten as a $1.20 shot! Should redeem itself here

F: 20225B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Elle Sole )

Five seconds from its ten starts says it will be winning soon. Challenge today is for the young 4kg apprentice to get the best out of it, especially coming out of a wide draw. Quick back up a good sign though

2 Smartroad
F: 4B(7)W(57.5)

Liked its run when stepped up to 2100m last time. So taking on trust a bit, back at 1600m, but it is six weeks six that race so can manage the drop back fresh
Main Danger
8 Saluto
F: 82428B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )

This 3yo looks like it will love the 1600m. Close up two back, it wasn't far away when finishing well in a good field at Ellerslie two weeks ago

9 Golden
F: 23B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Ramsay/Ritchie )
After a good debut over 1600m, was dropped back to 1400m at Pukekohe and although coming home well, was too short. Extra 200m puts it back in play
Consider
12 Princess Teresa
F: 659X8B(7)W(57.0)
