Aspen Voltage and The Blackadder will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. TAIHORO (1) has been thereabouts this prep, and he looks well placed on this track to break through after finishing a game fourth at Riverton last time out. Tina Comignaghi takes the ride in a positive jockey change, and he can get the job done this time. THE BLACKADDER (3) showed clear improvement second-up when racing on speed and sticking on fairly for sixth over 1200m here. He carries 3kg less this time, thanks to a claim, and he can figure in the top 4 here. NASHA MALA (10) ran a far better race at her latest outing when running third at Ascot Park over 1200m. She may try to lead this field, and she could take them all the way. ASPEN VOLTAGE (8) struggled in the testing ground over 1600m at Riverton last time out, and she is better off over the shorter trips for now. She cops a wide gate, but she is worth another chance. CRACKBONES (2) has relocated from the North Island after his last start fourth at Arawa Park nearly 6 weeks ago. Respect the market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nasha Mala at each-way value, and watch Crackbones.
