BELLISH BOY (5) won a trial before making a poor debut as the favourite at Tauranga last month, and then improved a touch to finish sixth there just over 3 weeks ago. The key here could be racing in an anti-clockwise direction, and from a good gate, he can repay his loyal supporters with a win in this. PINKY PIE (7) probably should have won a race by now, and she should be a lot stronger this year after finishing fourth fresh up at Arawa Park 4 weeks ago. She cops a wide gate, but can still figure in the top 3 here. MADISON (11) led up and was run down in the home straight here on debut in the spring, finishing second, then was put aside to mature. She is bred to improve with time, and she can go one better fresh up in this. THEONEWEKEPT (4) was taken on in front when making his debut at Tauranga, and only weakened late, finishing fifth. With some natural improvement, he can have a say in the finish. Each way. RYDERS LEGACY (3) is heading the right way and will pick up a win shortly.
