CHERISH ME (3) has been most impressive of late, and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 2000m at Rangiora, getting home by 4 metres. She has plenty more to offer, and the hat-trick beckons. SEEKING CLARITY (14) turned in a much better run last start when she scored by 3.5 metres over 1980m at Addington. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Has the ability to take this out. ZARLINI (10) is also high on the list of contenders despite a tough draw. Best form measures up favourably in this line-up so just needs a bit of luck to go her way. ADMOR ELLA (1) broke through last time out over 2600m at Addington. She has trialled up nicely since then, and from the draw, she can't be ignored for all combos.
