Track: GOOD4     Out 2.5m From 1050m to 400m, Remainder True  

Yellow Jersey should find the front with Kawatiri and Sunshine Ale on his heels. BE REAL (7) is an ex-NSW-trained mare having her first run in NZ. She has not had a public trial, but the Lisa Latta stable normally has them ready to rumble fresh up. If she doesn't need the run, then she is the one to beat. Check the market moves. PICCOLINO (10) was well ridden when showing a quick turn of foot to score in BM65 grade at Waverley nearly 4 weeks ago. She drops 2.5kg in weight and has the scope to repeat the dose. SUNSHINE ALE (11) improved from a modest fresh-up effort to score a tough win at Waipukurau just over 3 weeks ago over 1400m. She is up in class, down in weight, and from a superior gate, she has to be respected again. BLUE JEANIE (8) rocketed home fresh up here to finish third, and then flew home again at Whanganui over this trip 18 days ago, getting up to score an impressive win by a neck. Stick with her. PSYCLONE (12) was runner-up behind the fourth pick last time out, and usually holds her form when fit. Go again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Piccolino each way claims in an even field.
