HES NOT THAT INTO U (3) resumes after finishing seventh at his latest appearance at Alexandra Park on October 24. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. SEASIDE CHARLIE (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in third over 2200m at Wingatui. Big chance based on recent form. THE LAST YARN (7) faces the starter for the first time. By Always B Miki and hails from the Arna Donnelly stable. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Has strong trial form coming into this. Will be ready to run a big race. VERA GRACE (1) is worth some thought based on her third over 2000m at this track two runs ago.
