Plenty of pace evident with Mister Pucci and Ruach leading the way from Hot Line Bling and Time Traveller. HOT LINE BLING (1) ran on late for second at Cambridge on the poly track there in his penultimate start, but then struggled last time over 2200m at Ellerslie in a far stronger field than this, after being prominent at the turn. He is worth another chance in this field. VICKEZZLASTCALL (7) last raced just over 6 weeks ago when finishing seventh over 1800m at New Plymouth. She has been given a recent trial to keep her fitness levels up to the mark, and he maiden win did come on this track. Opie Bosson in the saddle is a big tick, and the pair merits healthy respect. RUACH (3) has gone a while without a win, with the latest effort being a seventh over 1600m at Te Rapa 17 days ago over a mile. He saves his best for his home track here, and with the step up to 2100m being ideal, he can bounce back into the money. TE ATATU MEMPHIS (4) beat a limited field by a head last time out at Te Aroha. His confidence is back, so stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Maybe Ruach at some value on his home track.
