Expecting Reptak to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. QUONDO (5) skipped through the wet ground at Matamata and was a class above his rivals when scoring by 2 lengths fresh up nearly 2 weeks ago. He drops 3kg and is on target to take the next step immediately. REPTAK (2) peaked on his run late when finishing midfield fresh up at Te Rapa 4 weeks ago. His record here is the only query for us, but this very lightly tried 6YO gelding can be a quick improver. Include. MONEYPENNY (4) sliced through the pack late fresh up to score by a nose at Te Rapa, and she is usually just as sharp second up. She cops an extra 3.5kg, but has the scope to improve again. Each way. RIBKRAKA (3) ran a much better race when third a fortnight ago over 1400m, and even though he drops back down to 1200m, he can figure in the finish again. Stick with him. PRUDENTIA (7) has been close up in 2 starts at his level after winning in BM65 grade by a head second up at Te Rapa in April. Include in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quondo can win again.
