There should be a bit of pressure with Curzon Park and Born This Swey pressing forward in advance of Hostility and Capote. HOSTILITY (7) is a progressive colt who resumed from a spell as favourite over 1200m in the LR Colin Meads Trophy at Ellerslie nearly 5 weeks ago. He needed that run badly, and should now be spot on with his fitness. Dropping back into maiden company makes him the one to beat. Follow your money. CAPOTE (4) just battled on debut, finishing fourth as favourite over 990m at New Plymouth nearly 4 weeks ago. Those track conditions that day were very testing, and he did stick to his task gamely. The step up to 1200m will suit him, and from the pole position, he can finish a lot closer. NIGHTOWL (1) has been freshened up and is worth another chance. CRUZON PARK (8) will be at his peak fitness third up and he has not had all the luck in his races recently. Each way value here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hostility should make amends and win this.
