RIGHT OF APPEAL (5) made his South Island debut and battled away gamely for third in a 6-horse field. He strips fitter, and from another handy draw, he can improve enough to win this. He goes on top for us. THATS CHARMING (4) is a consistent gelding who finds 1200m his limit. He was back in form when finishing third here 3 weeks ago, and another honest run is on the cards. JACK ATTACK (3) shows pace at times, and he battled away fairly well to finish fourth over 1400m after leading here 15 days ago over 1400m. HIs record over this short trip is better, and he can figure in the top 3 this time. CAPE HORN (2) was terrible as the short-priced favourite here over 1400m last start, but he is worth another chance. Follow your money. SHAFTED (8) will be suited by the pole position, and he is peaking at the right time third up from a spell. A 4kg claim will also help, and he is in the right race to make an impact. Each way.
