MUSTANG MORGAN (1) has had 3 starts since returning from Australia, and he is getting closer to an overdue win, after finishing runner-up by a head at Taupo nearly 4 weeks ago. He loses nothing with Jonathan Riddell picking up the ride, and he should go one better this time. AYTEEM (3) has been mixing his form this prep, and it is a touch surprising that he has not won another race. His only win did come here on his home track, and he is more than good enough to take this out. JAEGER (5) made up a lot of solid late ground when finishing third over a mile at Whanganui a fortnight ago. The extra 400m for his peak run is ideal, and despite a wide gate, he should be right in the finish again. BALLROOM BLITZ (6) has been racing well this prep on his home track while the ground has been wet, finishing in the top 4 in all of those 3 starts. She benefits from a 2kg claim here, and she won't be far away. CLEW BAY (10) finished third less than a length from the winner at Arawa Park. Include.
