STUMBLIN IN (3) ran fourth last start at Addington over 1980m, beaten 10 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Has the benefit of a good draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FREEZE FRAME (4) has drawn wide in recent runs. Didn't raise backers' hopes last time out when sixth over 1980m at Addington. Has the ability to take this out. B B KING (6) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. No reason the run cannot continue. SEASIDE CROFT (7) is tough to leave out on the back of two successive wins, most recently at Rangiora two weeks ago. This is tougher, but a hat-trick of wins is not beyond him.
