No Love Lost and Pinky Pie can be prominent. NO LOVE LOST (4) has gone close to breaking through in all 3 starts, and has probably cost herself a winning chance by racing greenly during the running. The drop back in trip to 1200m will suit her, and in a very modest field, she is the one to beat. PINKY PIE (7) trekked South for her first run for Suzy Gordon, and after racing keenly in front, she stopped quickly in the run home. She will be a lot sharper this time, and can figure in the top 3, so follow your money. MANORBIER (1) was much better when finishing third at Arawa Park just over 3 weeks ago. He likes it heavy, and seems to prefer racing over this trip. Stick with him. TIME AFTER TIME (6) was thereabouts in 3 starts last prep, and she has shown talent at the trials in the past. The Kevin Myers stables normally have their team ready to rumble fresh, so respect any market moves. BRILLIANT DEEJAY (2) makes his debut as a 5YO gelding, and he is bred to relish wet ground. Use the market as your best guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: No Love Lost should win this.
