Charm Manhattan should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. BOSS 'N' HIGHHEELS (10) has raced her way back into good form on the poly surface here in her last couple of starts, and gets a great chance to break her turf track duck here. She has form on heavy ground, and she can take this out. UNDISPUTED (9) has thrived since relocating to the South Island, making it 2 wins from as many starts when scoring at Wingatui last time out. He has a superior gate for the step up in grade, and the hat-trick beckons. HOORAY FOR HARRY (7) found some form again when finishing runner-up by a nose at Wingatui nearly a month ago. Both of his career wins have been on this track, and he will be hard to hold out now that his confidence is up. MOVE ON (5) was in good form on wet ground at the end of last year, and she usually comes to hand quickly. She benefits from a 2kg claim, and she is not to be underestimated fresh. Check the market moves. PETE'S PRIDE (2) gets a big swing in his draw here, and he was a bold third at Wingatui last start. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pete's Pride each way.
