Plenty of pace from Game Changer, Not Usual Moana and Laura matching motors ahead of Whip De Do. UPTOWN (11) is a progressive filly who hit the line strongly for third at Matamata nearly 2 weeks ago. She is bred for further, but is still only third up, so should still be on the sharp side to remain at the mile. Craig Grylls picks up the ride, and the pair will be hard to hold out in this. ARTISSIMO (10) was a touch plain at Te Rapa nearly 3 weeks ago, and will have the advantage of the pole position this time. She was third in her penultimate start and can bounce straight back into the money here. KAIMAI WARRIOR (3) will be peaking after 2 starts back from a spell in BM60 company. He is back in maiden class for his peak run, and he is worth including in all combinations. PAPPARAZZI (5) has won a trial. Follow the market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Uptown will be hard to beat in this.
