DAVID MOSS (3) has been racing well recently on tracks that have been too firm for him as he builds up his fitness levels. The step back up to 1600m will suit him, and if he can strike a heavy track, then he is the one to beat. MAMAEA (5) tried hard when running on strongly late to finish runner-up by half a length at Wingatui 11 days ago. She has been placed in 5 of her 8 starts on her home track, and she can go one better here. GENTLE BEN (1) is knocking on the door for another win, and he is usually making his runs wide into the home turn, so if he is close enough, he can have the last say. MAXIMUS AUGUSTUS (2) turned his form right around with a comfortable all the way win at Ascot Park nearly 3 weeks ago. He drops in trip, and he has a good chance to upgrade his moderate track stats. MARELLA MISS (6) is racing consistently, and she revels in wet ground. Include in all top combinations.
