PLATINUM TYCHE (7) is edging towards an overdue win, and all of her 3 starts this prep at this level have been full of merit. She was only a length from the winner at Otaki last time out as the favourite, and she won't have to improve by much to take this out. BRAVE REBEL (3) battled away bravely to finish sixth in the G3 Manawatu Classic at Trentham 6 weeks ago, and that form will stack up nicely in this field. Hard to beat. LOSTCAUSE (10) ran a better race at Waipukurau last start, and she will be spot on with her fitness for this more suitable middle-distance contest. She has a home track advantage, and she looks ready to put her best hoof forward. OCEAN MELODY (13) broke through for an overdue maiden win at Whanganui 3 weeks ago, and her wet track form is solid. Stick with her for all top 4 combos. SUBTLE IMAGE (6) made a winning debut from a new stable last start, and he has always promised a lot more than he has delivered, so go again. Each way.
