SECRET BEAU (2) bolted in when making his NZ debut on the poly track at Riccarton early in the season, and then was put aside to mature. He is bred to be good and has the scope to work his way right through the grades this season. SUPER SINCERE (8) ran a much better race on the 2-day backup at Cromwell a month ago when finishing runner-up by just over a length. She benefits from a 1kg claim, and another honest effort is on the cards. DRAGON BISCUIT (3) ran a bottler fresh up at Cromwell before not coping with the 2-day backup. He will be much better with a month since that run, and he can bounce straight back into the money here. GROVE STREET (10) will find this much easier than his last 2 starts at Riccarton, and a form reversal is expected. Include in all combinations. GIANNIS (4) will be backing up quickly from a last start sixth at Ashburton, and he is never far away. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Secret Beau is the one to beat again.
