Erase should be able to comfortably find the front. A tough stayers maiden is up next, and we have ERASE (2) on top after he was a beaten favourite at Cambridge last start when struggling to cope with the sharp step up in trip from 1400m to 2000m. She still battled away gamely, and he will be a lot sharper for this assignment. Follow your money. DENVER (1) was runner-up at Te Rapa on Sunday, and he has been placed on this track in the past, which is an advantage. The wetter the better for this gelding, and he can go one better. ROMANIN (13) was unlucky when finishing sixth at Matamata after being pushed very wide to make her run in the home straight. She is peaking at the right time, and she only needs the right run to be the winner here. MOBILIZED (3) stepped up in trip and ran a better race for third at Matamata 16 days ago. He is peaking at the right time, and he can figure in the top 4 again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Romanin each way value in an open field.
