Skattebo and Came True can pave the way. SKATTEBO (1) has looked very good this prep winning 3 of her 5 starts, and he puts himself right on the pace early on. He has another good draw, and we think he is the one to beat in this. BELLES BOOM (2) kept herself out of trouble and led all the way to score at Hawera 2 weeks ago. He is likely to adopt similar tactics in this from the pole position, and he looks set to repeat the dose. CAME TRUE (3) had cost himself a win by racing greenly in his first 3 starts before putting it all together to score an end to end win at New Plymouth last week over 1400m. The extra 200m won't bother him, and he has more to offer this year. BRIDIE (6) made up late ground when finishing second to the top pick in the same race last start, and she should again be right in the finish, especially in another small field. KYANITE MAN (4) let down impressively when scoring his maiden win here just over 2 weeks ago. There is more depth to this field, but he will be hitting the line hard. top 3 claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Skattebo to win in a nice field.
