Expecting Honor The Name to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. PRESENCE OF MIND (8) was runner-up on debut in her only start as a juvenile over 1200m at Wanganui, and hasn't raced since. She has some breeding to live up to and will be a lot stronger this season. She has had a couple of quiet trials and will definitely be hard to beat. HONOR THE NAME (4) debuted last start, finishing fourth as favourite at Matamata over 1050m 4 weeks ago. She had won 2 trials before that, and will be hoping for a firmer surface this time. Follow your money. ATKINS (3) returns after a four-and-a-half-month spell, which would have done her the world of good. She was a beaten favourite in all 3 starts during her initial campaign, and has again been to the fore at the trials. Hard to beat, despite the wide draw. WAY OUT (2) has raced her way into form and was a solid third at Cambridge on the poly track over 970m last time out. She is fit and ready to figure in the finish again. HOT CARD (10) cruised home to win a recent Te Rapa trial. Her stable is firing. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Presence Of Mind can win, but this field contains some handy types.
