Lovelock is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. COSMETIC VIRTUE (1) has been mixing her form in stronger fields than this, and even though she has drawn wide, she is the one to beat, especially with the drop down in class on a track she knows well. On top. CORRECTION (3) has been struggling to find another win, and he has also been mixing his form on the poly track there this prep. A good gate, and having Terry Moseley in the saddle could help produce some of his better form. Stick with him. LOVELOCK (4) was beaten by a wide draw last Saturday at Riccarton, and before that he raced too keenly near the pace. He is better than that, and we are willing to give him another chance. SECRET WISH (6) has raced his way back into some good form when finishing third here nearly 4 weeks ago. Include again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lovelock each way.
