RAKATURBO (4) resumes after finishing sixth in a better field at his latest appearance at Central Southland Raceway on November 16. His workout form is strong, and he will be hard to beat in this. STUMPY BLACKLER (5) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a second over 1980m at Addington. His recent efforts are good enough to win a race of this calibre. TYPHOON TERE (1) can make the most of this perfect inside draw, and he is worth another chance after a fair effort in a stronger company over 1980m at Addington two weeks ago. HIGH RETURN (3) finished eighth over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway on debut ten months ago. His recent workout form has been good, so watch for a better run at the first run back.
