Theres nothing to run them along. TISSE (4) was an impressive winner over this trip at Ellerslie in his penultimate start, and then charged home too late over a mile at Otaki 2 weeks ago, finishing runner-up by a nose. He steps back up to a middle-distance and is the one to beat again. IDENTIKIT (6) came home strongly from near last to score over 2400m at Trentham 2 starts back and then was fifth as a short-priced favourite over 2040m at Whanganui 22 days ago. If the tempo is more genuine this time, then she is good enough to have the final say. BATTLE SECRET (3) whacked away soundly for seventh in the Whanganui Cup just over 2 weeks ago, and only needs some cut in the ground to be a solid each-way chance here. COMEDY (5) can mix his form, but he did seem to appreciate the weight drop when running into second-place at Whanganui last time out. He likes this track and should be thereabouts again. OPAWA JACK (2) did not have much luck from a wide gate in the Whanganui Cup, stick with him from a superior draw here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tisse is the one to beat.
