LADY BANKSIDE (11) was beaten by a head fresh up and then made light work of her BM65 rivals at Ashburton 17 days ago when plowing through the mud to score by over 3 lengths. A wide draw may be OK by this time of the day, and with 3.5kg less to carry, she can take this out as well. ALMINETTE (10) may not win often, but is usually thereabouts. She was less than a length from the winner on the Riccarton poly track last start, and will produce her usual honest effort on the turf here. CALL ME AL (4) has been patiently handled and was an impressive winner in this grade at Wingatui just over 8 weeks ago. The gap between runs is a query, but on ability, he can repeat the dose. SHORT (5) ended his last prep on a winning note at Ascot Park and resumes from a brief spell over a trip that is below his best range. Watch for him late. NOBELLEM (6) has been mixing his form, but has won twice on this track from 3 starts. Each way value.
