DEL INQUENT (5) is heading the right way and will be meeting a very modest field here. He may still be a maiden, but he is still the one to beat in this. TARZADOR (4) has found it hard to win another race and has been thereabouts over a shorter trip this season. The extra 500m will suit her, but more importantly, Craig Grylls will pick up the ride. Hard to beat. BRIAN LAMONT (1) will be backing up quickly from a fourth at Te Aroha on Sunday, and with the in-form Hayley Hassman taking 3kg off his back, he is not the worst. ELTON ROCKS (2) finished third at Te Aroha a month ago over 2200m, and will again benefit from a 3kg claim. He will have no fitness concerns now and should be right in the finish again. ORANGE RIVER (3) has been mixing her form, and will find this easier than her last run at Arawa Park just over 3 weeks ago. Rory Hutchings in the saddle is a plus, and she can bounce back into some good form here. EDDIE'S DREAM (6) needs a heavy track to perform at his best.
