MISISSIPI GAMBLER (10) ran on too late when finishing less than 2 lengths from the winner in fifth at Te Rapa 2 weeks ago. She may already be looking for more ground, but with the pace on, she can have the last say in this field. THEONEWEKEPT (7) will be peaking third up, and he will relish getting out to a mile for the first time. He has the pole position and can figure in the top 3 this time. THE KING OF JAZZ (8) failed to fire on debut after settling too far back early on from a wide gate. Craig Grylls steps into the irons, and he will be more positive from a superior draw this time. Don't risk him. MIGHTY MACCA (2) won a trial prior to an eye-catching burst to finish second at Otaki on debut there 5 weeks ago. He cops a tougher gate, but will only need the gaps at the right time to be hard to beat again. CAPTAIN STAN (1) made the most of a change of tactics when racing handy to the pace and fighting bravely to finish runner-up at Matamata 3 weeks ago. Stick with him.
