Strong pace from Charming Emperor, Agent Black Hand and Sand Point, with Riomosa and Sargent on their heels. SATTRIYA (10) was beaten by a nose on debut, and then was third on a heavy track nearly 6 weeks ago, both times at her home track of New Plymouth. She meets the right sort of field and can get the job done this time. IVY TIME (12) is a promising mare that wound up late for second at Whanganui last time out. She might already be looking for more ground, but if the pace is genuine, then she can have the last say. IFBYMAGIC (9) has not had much luck in 2 starts to date, and was a trial winner before that. Expect something better this time. SUMMIT UP (3) franked some good trial form with a bold third on debut. She will naturally improve with the run, and she can pick a win shortly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sattriya can win this.
