RADIANT REACH (11) won 2 races in a row before failing to fire on a very testing track at Ashburton 17 days ago. She has a senior hoop back in the saddle this time, and at the weights, she could be the one to side with here. Follow your money. VICTORIAN CHARM (10) was too strong at Riccarton just over four weeks ago and powered away to score by over a length. The step up from 1200m to a mile won't bother him, and he can repeat the dose. LORD DARCI (1) will give his trainers a strong hand in this field after his easy win at Wingatui 7 weeks ago. He is at his best on the fresh side, so the gap between runs won't be a problem. Stick with him. BAUBLE (5) demolished a lesser field at Timaru nearly 6 weeks ago over 2200m and has won over a mile earlier in his career. He hails from the astute Anderton stable and can't be ruled out of a top 3 finish. CHEVRON (3) has been freshened up since a modest effort in the same race as the third pick. He is capable on his day, so don't risk him.

    Second run back. Comes off a 49-day let-up. First-up after 10 months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3 len at Wingatui June 1 over 1400m on a heavy track defeating Go Lotte with 52.5kg at $13.30. Previously second-up 2nd of 12 at this track on July 21 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Master Marko carrying 54kg at $8.50. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Back in fine order and is well-placed to take this out.
