Charm Manhattan is expected to cross from a wide draw and lead. EIGHT LUCKY PRAWNS (6) was a beaten favourite in his first run in the South Island at Riccarton on the poly track there 11 days ago. He did not have much luck over the concluding stages that day, and he will also be better for that hit-out. Follow your money. THOSE OCEAN EYES (5) had an excuse for failing to fire in her last start in a stronger field than this at Riccarton. She would have matured over her spell, and probably has more upside than most of her rivals here. She cops a wide gate, but can still have a say in the outcome of this contest. TEMBO (8) tackled a couple of decent fields after winning her maiden comfortably at Ashburton in February. She was not far away in a recent trial and is worth including in all combinations. BLUE VEIN (2) was close up in his last couple of starts, and has been given time to get over the most recent of those nearly 5 weeks ago. He is not out of this at good odds. SKIDDLYDOO (3) is having his first start in the South Island. Watch the market. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eight Lucky Prawns can make amends and win this. Include 2-3-5-8.
