COSMIC DREAM (5) won a pair of trials prior to finishing a game third on debut at Arawa Park 4 weeks ago over 1230m. She will be suited by the drop back to 1000m from the pole position, and she is the one to beat. PAPER MOON (9) failed to cope with a heavy track at New Plymouth on debut just over a year ago. She won the latest of her 2 trials this season, and with Craig Grylls in the saddle, she will be ready to rumble fresh up. SPARK (3) was not beaten far on debut in the Canterbury Belle Stakes in September. Her connections must think a lot of her, and even without another trial, she can take this out, despite copping a wide gate. NIEMI (6) needed her last start at Woodville 6 weeks ago. She has had a trial since then, so she should be a lot sharper this time. Stick with her on an each-way basis. DARCI DIOR (8) stuck to her task along the fence when finishing fifth on debut at Whanganui after racing handy throughout. Bruno Queiroz picks up the ride, and she won't be far away.
