Zentangle and Delacroix can both be handy in a race that doesn't look to have a lot of natural speed on paper. There is not much pace at all in the field so could be messy until a rider or two decides enough mucking around and lets put some speed into the race and at least make it a stamina contest. ZENTANGLE may be rising multiple classes here but can win comfortably. Dual course winner. May be part of a good day for this North Island yard. NIGHT NURSE a top tier must regardless of the track conditions. SAINT KITT once again weighted to win so at least will be fitter today. Include. Miss Three Stars has a riding change today. Big weight but will be warming up strongly late as usual. Kings Pal the next best for your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Zentangle and Night Nurse.
