|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong early tempo with Pepperdine likely to hold the lead from the rails draw, joined by Yet He Moves. Open race to kick off the card. YET HE MOVES (7) has been racing very consistently of late and is likely to take a forward position for Orman from the low draw. Drops back slightly in trip here so should be strong at the finish. FLEUR DU MONDE (6) got a confidence-building victory last time out and winning hoop Collett sticks in the saddle. Can go back to back. WAIRERE FALLS (3) hails from a handy family (half to 4xG1 winner Sacred Falls) and is better than recent efforts suggest. Worth another chance. SILVER WARRIOR (11) has been racing well in lesser grade but gets in very light with the claim and a strong showing would not surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,6,3,11.
