MY MAEBELLINE GIRL (8) is a jumping star on the ride with 3 wins on the bounce coming into this, including a win on the flat at her penultimate start. The only query we have is her modest form on this track, but even with over 5 weeks between starts, she will be the one to peg back. KING CABAL (3) proved that his impressive win at Tauranga was no fluke by beating a decent field by a short-head at Te Aroha last time out. He will still be on the up with his fitness, and the hat-trick beckons. IN A PICKLE (5) has not been far away in some tougher fields than this recently, and he has winning form on the track. He benefits from a 3kg claim, and is expected to be right in the finish here. Each way. SO CALL ME (6) is an accomplished hurdler still with pace on the flat, and he has been placed on this course in the past, which is an advantage. Stick with him in an each-way basis. AIR DANCER (9) also has solid course stats, and he is deep into his prep, so he won't lack fitness. Each way.
