TUMUCH (1) showed a bit more of what we have come to expect from him when finishing a game third in the Timaru Cup over a mile nearly 4 weeks ago. Dropping back to 1200m could be a query, but he is classy at best, and can win this. CANDYCANE (5) resumes from a spell with a recent trial under her belt. She comes to hand quickly and seldom runs a bad race. With 53kg to carry, she can figure in the top 3. POUR THE WINE (10) is a North Island-trained mare who has been battling to find her best this season. She is perfectly placed in this with the advantage of the pole position, and if she can be held up for the one run, then she can have the last say in this. INFLAMED (3) won the Listed Stewards Stakes here in the spring on a heavy track, and if she strikes a similar wet track here, then she will be hard to hold out. TEXAS DOLLY (9) was back in winning form at BM75 level here 10 days ago, and with 4.5kg to carry this time, she can hold that form. Stick with her.
