AVIVA (4) closed off strongly last start to get up for second over 2200m at Ashburton. She has run well in five of her last seven starts. Can handle dry and wet footing. Win chance in this. LA EVITA (3) is a multiple-class dropper. Has run well in four of five runs this campaign. Can handle dry and wet ground and is a top tier must today. GRANE (6) her last two runs have been dramatically improved. The filly is a trifecta and first four chance. MISS ENZED (7) is a triple placegetter so far. Yet to pay a dividend here at home but she was a super fresh up fourth on the track. Not out of this. SUSPECT OR VICTIM (8) showed dramatic improvement fresh to place. May go on with it now.
