Expecting a moderate pace headed by Heliconia and Reschs Milk. WAIRARAPA (8) raced handy and did a good job to be beaten just three lengths after copping a check in the straight last start at Canterbury. Steps up from 1550m to 1850m today which looks a good option. Nicely placed to open her account. RESCHS MILK (7) has been safely held in her two runs to date, the latest at Canterbury over 1550m. Dam is by Savabeel so getting to a middle-distance trip might be the key. TITAN OF FURY (1) gave away a big start before launching late to be beaten under a length over 1600m at Taree recently. Nice effort two back when close up over 1890m here. Definite contender. ZORKO (5) is rock hard fit following a placing over 2200m at Scone last time. Must be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Wairarapa.
