BANQUELLA (14) won a trial before finishing midfield on debut as the favourite at New Plymouth, and she was then midfield again here 18 days ago, also when short in the market. The key third up will be the step up to 1650, and even from a wide gate, she will be hard to hold out. Follow your money. MAN OF STYLE (8) had a stack of trial experience before finishing a game fifth over a mile on debut at Otaki when trying to make all the running that day. He has a better gate here, and with 3kg less to carry, he will take some pegging back again. ALMANHATTAN (7) had raced greenly in both of his starts to date, but did everything right when winning a trial since his last start at Te Rapa only 12 days ago. He is ready now to show some good form. Each way value. STARPELLO (1) was beaten by a wide gate at Otaki nearly 3 weeks ago, and his run prior there for second is the guide to use. With some better luck, he can bounce back. STREET APPEAL (9) will be peaking third up. Stick with him.
