EL VENCEDOR (1) was a beaten favourite in the G1 Zabeel Classic in an oddly run race. He is at his best when allowed to stride to the front, and if he can find that spot from the pole position, then he will take all sorts of beating in this. JAARFFI (2) has been racing consistently without winning, and was a game runner-up in the G1 Zabeel Classic here just over 5 weeks ago. She has won her only start over this trip and should go close to winning again. FROSTFAIR (8) ended up getting too far back early on here last week, and with a more positive ride, she can find a spot closer to the pace this time. She is ready for a mile again and can figure in the top 3 here. MOXIE (15) caught the eye with a huge late finish out wide in the G3 Aotearoa Classic last week. She drops 2.5kg, and from a better gate, she can take this out. WHAT YOU WISH FOR (5) flew home to score an overdue win in the Taupo Cup last time out. Stick with him. MERCURIAL (6) is ready now to show some good form. Include.
