PROCUL BOY (4) caught the eye with a game effort in stakes grade at Otaki 18 days ago, and he meets nothing of that calibre in this field. With any luck from an inside draw, as he likes to get back, then there is no need to look any further for the winner here. STRINGLINE (7) raced on the pace to stick on gamely for second in a 4-horse field last start at Whanganui, and he can fill the same spot again in this. KICK ON (3) needed the run fresh up at Waipukurau on Sunday, and he can run into the top 3 in this field. RUSTY LANE (2) was well beaten last time out in the same race as the top pick, but his form prior was good enough to see him bounce straight back into the money here. TAIMATE DIVA (1) treks up from the South Island, and she likes it wet. She has a good record over the trip, and she can make up the top 4 combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Procul Boy to win.
