SKYMAX (2) has relished getting out to a middle distance this prep, and won her penultimate start here by 8 lengths, and then was up in class last time out when scoring by 4 lengths. This is not much tougher, and the hat-trick beckons. PRISCA (4) shared the pace last time out at Tauranga and out stayed her rivals by a short head. She has won her over this trip in the past and she is normally very consistent when fully fit. Stick with her. MIDORI BURLY (5) was ridden off the pace and stuck on gamely here for second, and before that he led all the way to score a soft win. He drops 3.5kg, and if he can find the top early on, he take plenty of pegging back. UP WITH ACE (6) bounced back into winning form when beating the third pick in his first attempt on this surface. He has the pole position, drops in weight, and he can repeat the dose. DUSTY ROAD (1) drops in class for his poly track debut, and a form reversal would be no surprise.
