KIWI MAGIC (3) just battled as the favourite in BM75 company on the poly track here just over 5 weeks ago, and will probably be suited to returning to a turf surface for this easier assignment. He has always been held in high regard, and he goes on top for us. DON PAULY (4) finally delivered the goods to his loyal supporters, including us, when scoring here on Tuesday. The extra 400m will be no problem, and he can repeat the dose. TAVI ANN (8) ran on powerfully late for third when producing her best effort yet in the South Island at Wingatui nearly 3 weeks ago. She is capable of winning this race. FLAMBOYANCE (2) had an excuse at Wingatui in the same race as the third pick when finishing midfield as the favourite last time out. Include in all top 4 combos, and follow your money. MAWKEB (11) charged home late for fifth at Oamaru 6 days ago and should have finished closer that day. Each way claims again despite a wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kiwi Magic can win this.
