AISHITERU (12) needed the run badly here 2 weeks ago after making her debut a month before that at Tauherenikau and finishing fourth over a mile. She gets a big swing in her draw this time, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, she should go close to taking this out. SUSPECT OR VICTIM (7) resumed from a spell with a brave effort for second after making a mid-race move at Wingatui just over a month ago. She has been a late scratching since then, when failing to enter the barriers, and if she doesn't need this run, then she can figure in the top 3. TAIMATE STAAR (9) ran on stoutly for third here 2 weeks ago in BM60 company, and she looks to be well placed back in maiden company. Bruno Queiroz sticks with her, and so do we. PRIVATE TREATY (8) has been trying to win a race for some time, and was a sound sixth here last start in the same race as the third pick. Stick with her. DANIELLISH (11) is showing some promise as a stayer, and she is well worth including in all top 4 combos at odds.
