ABANDONMENT (1) was left with too much to do on the first day and did well to finish third as an odds-on favourite. He is only lightly tried and will continue to improve with racing. He has a better gate here and can set the record straight. GO YOUR OWN WAY (3) was an overdue maiden winner on the poly track here just over 2 weeks ago and won't lack fitness. He cops a wide gate, but is still worth including in all combinations. SHAKING STEVENS (11) has needed racing to get fit, and was as game as they come when finishing third here on the first day after setting the pace. He slides down in class and will take a lot of pegging back at this level. DAVID MOSS (2) was actually unsuited by the pole position last start, and once in the clear, he found the line strongly over a mile on the first day. He can stay right out of trouble from a wide draw here, and he can figure in the top 3 at some value. IRISH MISS (5) has held her form strongly since winning at Oamaru in June. Include.
