CONFECTIONIST (4) was too strong for the top pick the last time they met, and due to the conditions of this race, she will meet that runner even better off at the weights this time. On top again. PERFECT DIVIDENDS (1) loves it here, and he finished second by a length here in a similar field 12 days ago as a short-priced favourite. He has to carry more weight, but should do no work from the pole position, and he can push the top pick close again. DEEP PURSUIT (6) will be peaking third up and he is drawn to sit just behind the speed early on, and if he presents at the right time, then he will be right in the finish. REVO (2) needed the run when resuming on the Awapuni poly track 10 days ago over 1000m, and the extra 300m will suit him much more second up from a spell. Keep him safe in all top 4 combos. OBAN (3) has not won for some time, but all of is best form has been here, so include him in all top 4 combos.
