A solid tempo on the cards with Victorious Warrior heading them off. DUBAI ROCKIN (2) has yet to find the form he showed last season when beginning his career, and will be stepping up to a mile in a softer field fourth up from a spell. This is his chance to bounce back into the money. On top for us. SIR FERGUS (4) has been steadily improving with racing this prep, and will try a mile for the first time in his career here. He won his debut and only race here earlier in the year, and should now be ready to put his best hoof forward. Each way value. LISTENING (7) did not fire at all fresh up at Whanganui 12 days ago over 1340m. She is much better than that and will be a quick improver in this field. Stick with her. NOTABADBERGS (6) has been disappointing since winning well enough at Ruakaka at the beginning of this season. He jumps up from 1000m to a mile here, and that may see a turnaround in form. Include in all combinations. ROSINA (10) has found it hard to win another race and will be resuming from a spell. Include in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Notabadbergs each-way value.
