|---|---|---|---|---|

BERRY THE CASH (1) is a brilliant hurdler at his best, and he tuned up for this with a bold run on the flat at Otaki 5 days ago when finishing third. If ready, he will be the hardest to beat. TAIKA (3) did not complete the course at Te Rapa last time out after risking a few hurdles. He was an easy winner there before that, and can bounce back and take this out. HAPPY STAR (4) was so brave when finishing third at Otaki on the flat 5 days ago over 2200m. He only peaked on his run late that day, and will be spot on for this assignment. Each way. SQUIRE (5) could be the next jumping star after scoring at Te Rapa 8 days ago by over 9 lengths. He is well weighted, and the hat-trick beckons. BRUCIE (8) cost himself a closer finish by misjudging a fence late at Trentham last time out. He is not out of this. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brucie each way.
