Expecting Chasing Warrior to take up the running with Horrie and Stage Three close at hand. CHASING WARRIOR (2) has improved in each of his 3 starts, and is the likely pace maker here. He drops down in class, and he can take them all the way. ZENZERO GIRL (7) did not make up any ground off a slow tempo at Te Rapa 11 days ago, and an extra 200m here will suit her. She drops in class, and with the aid of a 4kg claim, he is worth another chance. ATLANTA GOLD (9) will be trying 1400m for the first time, and after making ground over 1200m at Te Rapa 11 days ago, she should be right in the finish. Each way value. STAGE THREE (10) resumes from a spell, and she has won fresh up in the past. Follow the market moves. KORO'S PRINCESS (13) had no luck last start, so don't risk her in this easier assignment. SUGGESTED PLAY: Atlanta Gold and Koro's Princess both at each-way value.
