MARBLE ARCH (3) did a great job when he drew wider and worked but fought well for a close second at Kaikoura last week. Owns a good record at this distance and should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Big chance to go one better. CAPTAIN TYRON (1) has been competitive of late despite a series a wider barriers including a placing two back at this circuit and distance He should get every chance from the inside draw. THE QUEENS GAMBIT (10) didn't do a bad job when fifth behind a good filly when returning to NZ last time out. May need some luck from the back row but is good enough to win if she gets the gaps. DOLLY PARTON (2) draws well and is tough to leave out after coming from wide barriers to win her last two outings at Alexandra Park.
