WAIMEA BAY (9) was showing talent at the trials and was a solid third on debut at Ellerslie nearly 4 weeks ago. She is bred to relish the step up to a mile, and in a suitable field, she is the one to beat. NIGHT WOLF (1) stepped up to a mile for the first time at Ellerslie and fought on gamely for fifth. His prior form was encouraging, and she will go close to taking this out. BARITONE (2) set the pace and was game in defeat when finishing runner-up by less than a length at Arawa Park 10 days ago over 1400m. If he can find the front on this circuit, then he may take some pegging back again. KING OF THE JUNGLE (6) makes his debut over a mile with 3 trials this season under his belt. He is bred to want more ground, but meets the right sort of field, and any market support is worth following. SINGE (11) was outclassed off a wide trip at Ellerslie 5 days ago, and if she backs up, she would be hard to beat. MADAME KLEPTOMANE (10) led up last start, and is not the worst in this. Include.
