CHASING WARRIOR (2) has improved in each of his 3 starts, and is the likely pace maker here. He drops down in class, and he can take them all the way. TIMETOPLAYTHEGAME (4) failed to cop the heavy track at Arawa Park, which can happen, and his effort for second at this level prior is the guide to use. He is capable of bouncing straight back into the money here. ZENZERO GIRL (7) did not make up any ground off a slow tempo at Te Rapa 11 days ago, and an extra 200m here will suit her. She drops in class, and with the aid of a 4kg claim, he is worth another chance. ATLANTA GOLD (9) will be trying 1400m for the first time, and after making ground over 1200m at Te Rapa 11 days ago, she should be right in the finish. Each way value. STAGE THREE (10) resumes from a spell, and she has won fresh up in the past. Follow the market moves. CAPOTE (12) will be the one to beat if he starts in this race. KORO'S PRINCESS (13) had no luck last start, so don't risk her in this easier assignment.
