Expecting Farravallo to take up the running with Chajaba and Lazio close at hand. LAZIO (3) fought all the way to the line fresh up at Whanganui after racing close to the pace and finished third there 6 weeks ago. He has won a Foxton trial since then and is on target for some richer assignments. On top this time. FARRAVALLO (4) was a well-beaten favourite at Trentham 2 weeks ago but still battled on strongly to finish third. He is seasoned enough now, fourth up to cope with a testing surface, and he will be hard to hold out in a small field. OLD TOWN ROAD (2) is a durable veteran who is always very competitive in the winter months. He was runner-up in the same race as the second pick last time out and has won his only start here. Never rule him out. CHAJABA (1) has won 2 of his 3 starts here and just battled second up last time out at New Plymouth 4 weeks ago. He has won when resuming before that run and can bounce straight back into the money here. TAVIS COURT (5) will be close to his peak fitness now and is ready to put his best hoof forward. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lazio to win.
