DREAM MAKER (5) drops back from some tougher fields at Ellerslie, and before that, he was runner-up at Te Aroha in October. This field is not strong, and he is bred to relish a middle distance. On top for us. ROMANIN (7) stepped up in trip and was runner-up by a neck in his best run this season. Rory Hutchings sticks with her, and so do we. Each way. PISTOL PRINCESS (8) was doing her best work late when running home strongly to finish third here over a mile nearly 3 weeks ago. The extra 500m is ideal, and her first win is not far away. LADY JANICE (9) has raced her way into full fitness and is heading the right way with her form. She tries a longer journey for the first time, and can figure in the top 3 this time. FERDIE'S SECRET (1) has been below his best in his last 2 starts, but is worth another chance. Include in all combinations.
