Scelta Di Elena to take charge ahead of Duncan Creek at a good tempo. AOTEA LAD (6) was not too bad a run fresh up and was a trial winner prior. Drawn to win this for sure. KOPUA (2) was a good run fresh up. Triple winner second up and hard to see him out of the finish here. Include everywhere. LIGHTNING JACK (1) is a multiple class dropper in this after missing out at G1 last start. He has run at G1 and G2 in his last three runs. Dual winner here. Winning 3kg claimer atop and right in the mix. ORLOV (3) he is a multiple class dropper here and also a triple track winner. Trifecta and first four must. DUNCAN CREEK (7) is a multiple class riser here. Course winner and well drawn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aotea Lad and Lightning Jack are win wagers.
