Not a great deal of speed on paper so it may be left to one of the debutants to take it up. CENTURIAL (1) has been thereabouts in all of her 4 starts to date, and she continues to race honestly, finishing runner-up 2 back at Pukekohe before finishing fifth over 1400m at Ellerslie last time out. This looks a suitable assignment, and from the inside draw he can get the job done. COWBOY (3) has been building nicely, and he finished a close-up third last start when beaten under a length at Pukekohe. He meets a similar or slightly easier race here, and he should be right in the mix. ZENZERO GIRL (9) got back too far at Ellerslie last time out, and she has a superior gate this time. Stick with her. Each way. VALENTINO (7) makes his debut from a handy gate, and he has had enough trials to be ready to run a big race. Follow the market moves. CADAQUES (5) makes his debut, and he will have the services of Michael McNab, who is a strong lead. Each way claims, especially if the money comes for him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zenzero Girl is a chance at each-way value.
