AYUMI (5) was a beaten favourite after having to work too hard to get handy early on from a wide gate. The drop back to 1200m will suit her, and with some better luck from another tough gate, she can make amends. Follow your money. LOOSE 'N' VEGAS (4) did well to finish runner-up when resuming here 4 weeks ago, and with a similar setup, she can improve enough to go one better. BONANZA (6) franked her solid trial form with a brave effort for second on debut here nearly a fortnight ago. She doesn't have to improve by much to take this out. OGUN (2) did not cop the heavy turf track here last start, and his debut fourth on this surface is the guide to use when assessing his chances in this. Include. STRANGER TIMES (7) makes his South Island debut, and on what he has shown in the North, he won't be in this class for long. Follow the market leads. FORSETI (9) will be peaking third up, and she is not the worst at odds in this even contest.
