COMANECI GOLD (13) settled in the back half of the field then picked up well and wasn't beaten far at Te Aroha over 1400m last time out. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time. LA DANZA (8) settled at the back of the field in and came with a big run from well back only to just miss out at Pukekohe over 1600m. 10-start maiden who looks close to a win. HIT 'N' RUN (15) spotted them a big start and had the job ahead but picked up nicely in the straight. Yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance. ARTFUL DODGER (1) gave away a big start and was just fair through the line at Ellerslie over 1600m last start. Racing well and although without a win has been in the money three times from six races. UNMISTAKABLE (12) settled in a handy spot at Pukekohe but didn't go on with it, did manage to be in the money two starts back at Te Aroha. Capable of sharp improvement.
