CONGOLIAN (1) had trialled up nicely prior to finishing runner-up on debut at Whanganui nearly 3 weeks ago. He will be better for the experience, and he won't have had to improve by much to be winning this. On top. YALDY TIME (3) had won both of his public trials very easily, and then finished fourth on debut in the same race as the top pick. His maiden win is not far away. TEEMOO (2) resumes from a spell that would have done him the world of good. He showed talent earlier in the year when racing on the West Coast, and he should continue to improve with racing this prep. Include. LA CHICA BELLA (8) was only bloused out late when finishing second on debut at Hastings nearly a month ago. A wide gate is against her in this, but she is still an each-way hope, especially on a heavy track. HIGH NOON (9) finished third in the same race as the top 2 picks, and she is also a top 4 chance despite drawing off the track.
