Strong tempo assured from Final Applause and Tryptic leading the charge. TRYPTIC (10) was game in defeat when finishing runner-up on debut and then had excuses when being beaten at Te Aroha 3 weeks ago. She can settle just off the pace here and can make amends. Each way. CHILLING OUT (9) raced greenly on debut at Arawa Park and will be better for that experience. She is bred to be good, and from a handy gate, she will be hard to hold out. DON'T TELL THE MRS (2) was third in his first couple of runs and has been given a freshen up since finishing out of the money in a stronger field at Ellerslie just over 6 weeks ago. Stick with him here. I DUNNET (1) was put aside after running third in both of his starts here earlier in the season. He is stronger now and will have the blinkers on for the first time. Each way. FINAL APPLAUSE (5) was taken on in front when making his debut at Arawa Park a month ago. He strips fitter and can figure in the top 3 this time. RENZO (3) ran the race of an improver at Te Aroha 3 weeks ago. Stick with him. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tryptic can win this.
