Expecting Manu Vuka to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. BYTHESEA (7) fought on well enough to finish second on debut, and then failed to cope with a sticky track here 4 weeks ago. She is worth another chance, especially with the aid of the pole position. Each way. CRACKBONES (1) has been heading in the right direction with his form, and he stuck to his task gamely when finishing runner-up at Oamaru 2 weeks ago. He is ready to go one better. DREAM ROMANCE (5) was put aside after a sound run for second at her last start at the beginning of February. She is bred to improve with more time, and she can give this a shake fresh. LAUNCH CODE (2) rushed home too late when finishing second by a short-head here 4 weeks ago. A wide gate may not be a bad thing on a heavy track, and he can go one better. MANU VUKA (8) blew out badly fresh up, and she will be a quick improver. Include in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bythesea each way.
