Expecting Customized to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. MISS MOET ALL (4) has not been too far away in both of her starts this prep, and they were in far tougher fields than what she meets here. She is perfectly drawn in the pole position, and she may even try to make all the running. On top for us. BAMBOOZLE (1) just battled fresh up and was clearly in need of the outing at Te Aroha 6 weeks ago. Dropping back to 1200m from 1600m is a query, but this field is poor, and he can figure in the top 4. CUSTOMIZED (2) has been disappointing in 2 starts since finishing a close runner-up at New Plymouth near the end of last year. He is racing back in that direction this time, and a form reversal is on the cards. GOLD CARD (3) had trialled up well enough before failing to fire fresh at Pukekohe just over 2 weeks ago. He is better than that, and he is worth another chance. LEANACH LAD (7) makes his debut and won't have to be a superstar to run into the top 4 placings in a field like this. Check the market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Moet All to win.
