Genuine pace with Orsome Dude finding the front from his low draw. MOOR (9) only battled late here 4 weeks ago over 1600m in a deeper field than this, and though beaten, she was not far from the placings. Dropping back to 1400m is the key, and with a nice run early from a handy gate, she can figure in the finish. DAVID MOSS (2) fought on well to finish fourth at Riccarton 12 days ago over 1600m, and the drop back to 1400m does surprise us a touch. He needs a genuine heavy track, and with conditions to suit, he can take this out. DIVINE SPIRIT (3) did not run on as expected at Oamaru a fortnight ago after coming home with a rush here before than to finish close up in second. He can make amends. ASPEN VOLTAGE (6) failed to fire in her post maiden run at Oamaru last time out, but she may be looking for wetter ground, and she is worth another chance with a return to this course. SACRED MIST (5) was just over a length from the winner here 4 weeks ago after producing a tough win at Riverton before that. Stick with her on an each-way basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: David Moss each way.
