The Radiant One should lead at a keen tempo. HARLECH (1) was out of the money two runs back at G3 then last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Big chance to win this. A 4kg claim is the actual key too his chances. SOUTH OF HOUSTON (6) she has been racing super in the main since coming to New Zealand. Dual winner here already. Top tier must in this line-up. BELLUCCI (8) is a class riser here. Good course record. Rider atop suits as well. MISS NICO BELLE (11) won a Riccarton Park trial over 1000m on March 24. New stable now. Drawn out. Chance. MYSTIC PARK (2) is an improver on fresh up run. Second up proven. Five-time course winner and cannot be omitted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harlech and South Of Houston are win wagers.
