FREEBELLE (2) looks to have this race at her mercy after winning for the second time in a row at Trentham 3 weeks ago by nearly 4 lengths. She won here before that, and with only an extra kilo to carry, the hat-trick beckons. PARADIS (7) made a winning debut fresh up from the in-form Suzy Gordon stable nearly a month ago and is now strong enough to cope with more racing. She loves a wet track and is the main threat to the top pick, if there is to be one. MADAM PELE (6) has turned a corner this prep and followed up a solid third on this track with an easy all the way win at Otaki over 2100m. The drop back to 1800m won't be a problem, and she can figure in the top 3 here. O'CEIRINS BELLE (9) was less than 2 lengths from the winner in fifth place at Otaki last start. She is back on her home track and can't be underestimated as a top 3 hope. CRAFTY COLIN (3) no go as favourite on a very testing Otaki track 11 days ago. He is worth another chance. Include in all multiples to be safe.

    Second run back. First-up after 11 months won by 0.5 len at Otaki June 20 over 1600m in heavy going defeating Crafty Colin carrying 56.5kg at $8.90. Previously second-up 6th of 13 at Tauherenikau on January 2 2024 over 2050m, 6 len behind Nothing Unusual carrying 56.5kg at $8.60. Shapes as a chance again.

    Raced two times to date. At debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at this track on June 10 over 1600m, in the wet; 5 len behind Freebelle with 54.5kg at $12.90. Last start 5th of 14 at Otaki on July 8 over 1600m, in the wet; 1.75 len behind El Tajin with 54.5kg at $5.40. Can do much better this time.

    Verdict
    Most recently 8th of 14 at Otaki on July 8 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind El Tajin carrying 56.5kg at $4.30. The race before that came from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Otaki on June 20 over 1600m, on a wet track; 0.5 len behind Paradis carrying 55.5kg at $5.90. Sure to be thereabouts.
