In the small field Pinafore and Tifosi are expected to take up the running. RONALDO (1) just got up to score on debut on heavy ground at New Plymouth nearly a month ago, and he has won another trial very easily since then. He has a good draw and is on his way to better things. Go again. PINAFORE (3) built her form strongly and scored a comfortable win third up in a decent field at Tauherenikau just over 5 weeks ago. She has the experience edge over the top pick, and she can repeat the dose. SPEED DEMON (2) resumes from a spell after winning once in 3 starts during his initial prep in the spring. He will be stronger now, and he should be right in the finish. A market watch is advised. TIFOSI (5) was not far away in her 2 starts to date, and she resumes without any public trials. A good gate will help, and she is worth including in all top combos. FRANCIE RULES (7) makes her debut off the back of a couple of sound trials. She is in good hands, and can make her presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ronaldo can win again, and Pinafore to make up the quinella.
