GENKI (4) was out of the money but not beaten far when finishing eighth in the Listed Gingernuts Salver at Ellerslie just over 3 weeks ago. That sort of form makes him the one to beat in this. ASTARTE (7) has hit her straps since being tried over a middle distance, and was narrowly beaten in her last couple of starts. She will secure a run that suits her from the pole position, and her first win is not far away. SHOW DIAMONDS (9) showed promised in her initial prep in the spring when lacking some strength. She has needed time to mature, and her recent trial for second was solid enough. Each claims fresh up, and the market will be a good guide. SHE SUITS HERSELF (11) set the pace and fought on very bravely to finish runner-up in the Oaks Prelude over 1800m at New Plymouth 12 days ago on a heavy track. The extra 300m will suit her, and if it has not come all too soon for her, she will be hard to peg back again. RETRO (13) is showing promise, and staying will be her forte. Top 4 claims.
