EIGHT LUCKY PRAWNS (3) was only beaten by a short-head two starts back at this track, and then ran eighth here off a slow pace over 1200m on this track 11 days ago. He has the winkers on this time and can take this out. MI BELLA (10) is making her South Island debut. She performs well fresh and will find the company in this part of NZ more to her liking. Use the market as your best guide to her chances. BEST ROSE (11) was a game third first-up at Riccarton, and then just battled at Stakes level there last time out. She has been back to the trials since then, and at this level, she will be very hard to hold out. GIANNIS (2) built on a solid second-place effort two starts ago at Riccarton on the poly track to score an overdue win there last time out. He has yet to win on the turf, but is stronger now, and is worth including in all combinations to be safe. CHARM MANHATTAN (1) has been thereabouts in both of his starts this prep, and should be close to his peak fitness third up. Include.
