PINKER (1) paid good money when winning fresh up in his first run from the Kevin Myers stable, and he then just peaked on his effort at Omoto 6 days ago. He will be spot on over a more suitable middle distance, and with Tina Comignaghi to offset the wide gate, he will be hard to hold out again. POSSESS (2) bolted in at Omoto, and then was only a fair fourth at Reefton 3 days ago. He is worth another chance, so follow your money. LIVING IN HOPE (8) ran a much better race when second at Kurow 11 days ago, when beaten by just a nose. She should go close to winning this. GRAND CRU (7) was an easy winner at Reefton on Wednesday, and from a good gate in a similar field, he can repeat the dose. MISS SETH (6) has been looking for more ground, and she gets a good chance in this to figure in the top 3. Each way value.
