Expecting Kyboshe to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. PAPER MOON (3) makes her poly track debut off the back of a bold run for second on the turf here as the favourite just over 3 weeks ago. She will be spot on with her fitness, and with Bruno Queiroz taking over the reins, she can go one better. AYUMI (4) was showing talent when trained in the North Island, and she makes her South Island debut from the David Walsh stable, which is normally a recipe for success. The pole position will help, and she will be hard to hold out, especially if the money comes for her. RUSSIAN BLUES (5) has improved quickly since getting back on to the poly track here, and she was close up in third as a warm favourite here nearly 2 weeks ago. She has drawn well, and she will again go close to winning. Follow your money. LINDY MAY (1) certainly deserves a winning turn after a solid effort for second on a heavy track at Wingatui a month ago. Each way claims again. OUR SALLYANN (2) finished runner-up by a short-head at Ascot Park 17 days ago, so stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Paper Moon and Ayumi can quinella the race, but respect the market moves.
