|---|---|---|---|---|

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. BELLE NOIRE (6) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1100m at Tauranga, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths. She showed speed on debut. Drawn okay again. Win chance here for sure. TOWERING VISION (1) made debut four months ago at Te Rapa when he finished in the placings and hasn't raced since. Stronger for the spell. Home track. Win chance for certain in this field. CIRCUS TRIX (12) twice trialled so ready to resume. Definite chance. IN HARMONY (8) was a trial winner here before first her start. Wide gate but she can cope. IN HARMONY (8) is a trial winner here before first her start. Wide gate but can cope. VARJAK (5) is a two-year-old gelding (Contributer - Tiffany Gem) on debut. Has been trialled on three occasions leading into today's race for a second and a fourth. First look left-handed but he is trained on the track. Awkward draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Belle Noire and Towering Vision are win wagers.
