FLEETING STAR (9) has finished in the money in all 4 of her career starts to date, including her last start second by a neck at Te Aroha just over a fortnight ago. There is a bonus attached to this race, and she should be the one to beat. SHINING PEARL (1) was a solid runner-up when resuming from a spell at Te Aroha and then found the same trip of 1150m too short for her there a month ago when finishing sixth. She will relish the extra 250m, and will be hard to hold out here. CLASSIC CHAMPAGNE (3) lacked some strength in her initial campaign, and her best run was on debut when finishing fourth at Matamata. She was close up in a recent trial, and is sure to have some admirers in the market fresh up. CONFECTIONIST (10) was doing her best work late at Arawa Park over this trip last time out, and is another with top 4 claims in an even field. TYPHOON LUCY (13) is a staying bred filly making her debut from the leading Walker/Bergerson stable. Her trial form is good. Watch closely.
