MOHI PLACE (2) ran on late here in his penultimate start on this track, and then did not back up at Pukekohe a week later over 2100m, finishing at the rear of the field. He is right down in class here, and returning to a mile makes him the one to beat. OUTER FOCUS (3) finished quickly to run second at Woodville 2 starts back, and then ran on too late for sixth at Whanganui nearly 4 weeks ago. Both of his career wins have been on this track, and he is spot on fourth up to take this out. VESPACIAN (9) has found it hard to win another race, and she has changed stables since her last run at Waverley in March. She might need the run, but can still figure in the top 4. BLUE RATA WAREA (1) can be hard to catch, and his last win was in this grade on a heavy track at New Plymouth in late October. Include in all combinations. MARKET SQUARE (5) has won a trial since his last run at Tauherenikau nearly 6 weeks ago. He meets an even field, and is not out of this. Each way value.
