EL VAQUERO (1) has been narrowly beaten by a smart type in his last couple of starts and will relish stepping up 1200m for the first time. He has he ace draw, and should be the one to beat. KIWI MAGIC (2) cost himself a closer finish by racing greenly on debut at Riccarton just over 4 weeks ago. He has a motor and will definitely improve quickly with more racing. He will give the top pick plenty to think about in this. SUNSHINE (8) hails from a top stable that normally has its team ready to fire when they hit the race track. This filly is bred to handle wet ground and is worth including in all combinations. The market moves will be an important guide here. RIPA TIME (5) battled on late for fifth on debut at Wingatui and will only improve with more experience. Place claims in this. OCEAN BOULEVARD (6) is on debut from the in-form Robert Dennis stable. She has not had any public trials, but is bred to cope with heavy ground, and should be respected if any money comes for her.
