Sailor Girl and Hello Bess will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. HELLO BESS (2) set up a strong pace in front here 2 weeks ago as the favourite, and she only folded up late, finishing fourth, just over a length from the winner. She strips fitter and is good enough to take them all the way. Follow your money. SAILOR GIRL (3) has been mixing her form and will make her poly track debut here. Her stable wouldn't have trekked all this way if they didn't think she could cope with the surface, and from a handy gate, she can bounce straight back into the money. GOOD CRAIC (5) needed her last start after having a freshen up, and she is much better placed over this trip rather than 1400m. She will be a lot tighter in condition this time, and a form reversal is on the cards. Include. MYSTIC OCEAN (7) turned her form around when finishing runner-up on this surface here 2 weeks ago. She will look to settle midfield, and another honest effort can be expected. ELECTRIC ZOU (1) has yet to fire in the South Island, but on this surface, expect something better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hello Bess can win this, and add in Electric Zou at a price.
