Butler Cabin, Magill and Lassified can set the pace. LARA ANTIPOVA (4) had been to the fore in both of her trials and then bolted in by 8 lengths when scoring at Te Aroha on debut. This field is a whole lot tougher, but she is in the right stable, and Craig Grylls sticks with her. On top again. I AM BELLE (5) is up from the South Island after denting a few reputations with a debut win at Riccarton just over 5 weeks ago. She is on her way to better things and can win this as well. SILHOUETTE (7) only beat 2 others when scoring on debut, but it was on this track, which is a big advantage on this dog-leg course. She has to be respected. LASSIFIED (6) led all the way for a tough win by a head at Tauherenikau on debut nearly 6 weeks ago. She has to step up, but has the scope to do so. BUTLER CABIN (1) dug deep to score on debut at Otaki nearly 3 weeks ago. He is in good hands, and will only continue to improve with more racing. Go again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lara Antipova can win, and I Am Belle is also a big threat.
