Small field in which Justadude can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. PUDDLE OF MUDD (3) tried hard and just peaked on her effort late when resuming at Hawera just over 3 weeks ago. He drops 2kg here thanks to a Kauri claim, and on a track that is rain-affected, he is expected to improve sharply. LALUME (9) won the latest of her 3 trials this year quite easily, and she is bred to continue to improve as she steps out over more ground. Follow any positive market moves. KIT ZAKAT (4) fought on gamely for fifth at Waverley a month ago on a track that was possibly too firm for her. She was third on a wet track fresh before that run, and she is ready now to break through at short notice. SKY HAWK (6) makes her debut, and she has been given plenty of time to mature. Include in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Puddle Of Mud can win this.
