TANALISED MILE 1600m Track: SOFT 6 Out 8m |

|---|---|---|---|---|

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. MARS (2) maintained her unbeaten record on the Cambridge poly track when scoring there second up last time out 24 days ago over 1300m. She is just as good on a turf surface and won't find this assignment any harder. She is up 3kg, but can repeat the dose. MALDINI (1) is racing his way into full fitness and was only beaten by a head on a very heavy track at Tauranga 3 weeks ago. He has a superior gate this time, and with a kilo less to carry, he can go one better. ALADDIN SANE (4) is a progressive gelding who has been placed in 2 of his 3 fresh-up starts in the past. He is resuming with a recent trial win under his belt, and with Michael McNab in the saddle, he will be ready to give this a shake. NANCY SHE WROTE (8) was beaten but not disgraced in the Listed Tauranga Classic fresh up there 3 weeks ago, and though she has a query on her ability to race at her best in a clockwise direction, she can still figure in the top 4. TIDE AND TIME (6) will be peaking third up. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mars to win again in a very even contest.
