In the absence of noted leaders, Gap It and Noivern may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. UNSHACKLED (5) has looked a lot better this prep, and whacked away solidly enough when finishing runner-up here nearly 2 weeks ago. This field is no harder, and her first win is not far away. THEE AULD TRICK (6) took some time to reach her peak after being bought out of the North Island, and she was less than a length from the winner when finishing third here last time out. She is peaking at the right time, and would only need to improve a little more to be winning this. NOIVERN (2) was a warm favourite when finishing fourth here over 1400m last start, and the extra 200m is the key for his peak run this prep. Stick with him, and follow your money. GO PRO (3) seems to battle away without threatening in his races, and he draws in the pole position for the third time in a row. Include in all combos just to be safe. RUFUS (1) was much better when finishing third here after settling a fair way back in the field early on, and he will continue to build off that effort. Top 4 value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thee Auld Trick each way.
