MUSTANG MORGAN (2) contested some hot fields as a 3-year-old, and is heading back into some winning form again after having 3 runs back from a spell this season, including his last start at Taupo nearly 3 weeks ago when finishing a narrowly beaten second by a short-head as the favourite. He cops a tougher gate, but is now spot on to go one better. Follow your money. SMILING EYES (13) travelled up to them like the winner at Otaki last time out, but was dour to the line, finishing a sound fourth. There will be no more fitness excuses fifth up, and she has a good chance to win a race like this. Stick with her. VENDABELLE (14) let down strongly when winning her maiden in her penultimate start, before failing to fire at Ellerslie in a tougher field there 3 weeks ago. Go again here. GIPPSY GOD (1) has been holding his form strongly since winning his maiden at Taupo in the spring. He benefits from a 3kg claim and can't be ruled out of winning this. INCREDIBLE (4) is a sound top 4 hope here.
