The pace looks solid with the likes of Honora, Arrivo and Flying Flame are surefire trio of speed. A resuming FLYING FLAME looks the winner in this for a multitude of reasons that give more confidence to bettors. This looks easier overall than last start and in fact is the most winnable race of his career so far. He has dash so will not waste a good gate and should sit poised closer here then pounce. BELLA PRONTO will find it easier now in New Zealand. Trial third last month. Top tier chance. HONORA is a speed influence drawn the ace so you know what to expect from the outset. ARRIVO is speedy and gets a senior rider atop. Course placed before. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Flame is the outright win wager. The value for the quinella is Bella Pronto.
