BRAZEN AFFAIR (2) has not missed a cheque in 7 starts here, including 3 wins, and she has needed all of her 3 starts this prep on the turf. She drops 3.5kg from her last run, and is ready to win. On top. BAD EDUCATION (8) trekked South to Tauherenikau last time out, and peaked on his run late, finishing fourth. There will be no fitness excuses here, and he has top 3 claims in a modest field. VITTORIO VENETO (1) ended his last prep in March with his first win on the turf at New Plymouth. his record on the poly tracks are better, including a win here, and if he doesn't need the run, then he can figure in the finish. Check the market moves. KARYON (5) has been heading the right way with her form, and she has won here in the past. She will be peaking third up from a spell, and she may try to take this field all the way. CHEAP SAV (6) is normally better second up, but in this sort of field on her favoured surface, she could cause an upset. Watch for her late.
