Zac Flash should find the front with Uhtred and Ghibbo on his heels. ROLLINS (4) is a touch on the dour side and is still strengthening up, but he looks very well placed in an amateur rider's contest. He handles bad ground and will give a good sight. On top. SARRACINA (9) plugged away for third at Te Aroha 24 days ago and has the visor-blinkers on this time. Top amateur rider Scotty MacNab will pick up the ride, and the pair will be hard to hold out. ZAC FLASH (3) won't lack fitness with his recent racing being over the steeples, and he was second on the flat at Ellerslie when resuming from a spell before those recent runs. Stick with him. KING CABAL (6) looked likely to run into the top 3 at Tauranga 10 days ago and just battled the last bit. He will be spot on with his fitness now and is expected to be right in this. Each-way value. UHTRED (2) kept up a strong gallop when leading and fighting hard to finish second at Tauranga last time out. He is the likely pacemaker here and can go one better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rollins could be too tough in this.
