War Princess, Passiflora and Lubeck to match motors but there will be other pressure. LUBECK (5) is a very promising filly who led all the way to score in comfortable fashion at Arawa Park nearly 3 weeks ago. She is having her first race in a clockwise direction, and she could be hard to peg back again, especially on this circuit, which can favour front-runners. HASSTOROCK (6) caused an upset with a dominant win at Taupo fresh up over 1100m, and she will be even sharper second up from a spell. She has the scope to repeat the dose. PASSIFLORA (8) showed express speed to lead and win at Cambridge on the poly track there just over 7 weeks ago when making her debut. She has won a trial there since then, and similar tactics will make this race very interesting early on. BELLA'S BOY (2) was put aside after a tough win on debut at Matamata in June. He's had a tune-up trial and bears close watching. Include in all multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hasstorock each way.
