NOT USUAL PICK (2) finished one length from the winner in third on debut last start over 1300m at Te Rapa. Trial winner and placed clockwise prior. Can finish one or two better here. WHO ROX THE HOUSE (7) has been much improved in last two runs. Drawn wide. Quinella and trifecta must in this field. DEADLY DESIRE (8) was a good run at last start. Sure to relish the rise to a Mile. Can pay a dividend today. LITTLE THIEF (1) has run well in three of his last five starts. Can place or be first four here. HEPHAESTUS (5) is a Roger James & Robert Wellwood trained three-year-old colt lining up for first race start. Four times trialled for a win and a fourth. Dam has left five winning foals with Wichita Warrior (6 wins) the most prolific. Tote the tell.
