Not much early pressure but Costanza, I'maprincess and Magna Memory can take up forward spots. RIO GRANDE (1) looks to be very well placed over a mile after a last start third over 1400m at Arawa Park 2 weeks ago. Joe Doyle will replace an apprentice, and the pair will be hard to hold out. I'MAPRINCESS (6) did nothing after receiving a cosy run at Tauranga 10 days ago, and her debut effort for third at Pukekohe is the best guide to use when considering her chances. Each way claims in this modest contest. COSTANZA (2) has changed stables since finishing fourth on debut at Te Aroha just over 3 weeks ago. He is bred to improve with racing, and the extra furlong is ideal. Include in all multiples. MOBILIZED (4) was a game fourth on debut over a mile at Pukekohe and looks set for a jumping career. He will be better for that experience, and is not the worst at longer odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rio Grande should be the one to beat.
