Track: AW     True  

Giannis to take charge ahead of Agile at a strong tempo. BOSS 'N' HIGHHEELS (4) has been thereabouts since relocating from the North Island, and she did win second up in the South at Wingatui in March. She makes her poly track debut, and from a handy gate, she will be hard to hold out. VIVACIOUS (1) was disappointing when a beaten favourite here nearly a fortnight ago, and she does get back in her races, which makes her reliant on race-tempo. If the race is run to suit, then she can have the last say here. Follow your money. HASSTOBEFAST (3) finished fourth and less than a length from the winner when making her South Island debut on this course. She raced well on the Cambridge poly track when trained in the North, and she will be a quick improver in this. Follow your money. ENTERPRISE GEM (5) resumes from a spell, and she saves her best for this surface. Include in all combos to be safe. AGILE (6) makes her South Island debut, and she won her only race on the Cambridge poly track, so keep an eye on the market here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boss 'N' Highheels can win this.
