Good pace with Winner Patch, Triple Threat and Cadaques matching motors. SILKY SHUBA (8) had to do a power of work when trapped wide at Te Rapa last start, and she weakened in the run to the line, finishing well back from a very impressive winner that day. She meets a fairly modest field here, and she can make amends, so follow your money. CADAQUES (3) was well in the market on debut and struck a very testing heavy track at Hastings, so that effort can be overlooked. He had been to the fore at the trials before that, and he is worth another chance. Each way. EMAC (4) is another who did not race up to his good trial form when finishing eighth on debut at Arawa Park just over 6 weeks ago. He will improve with more racing, and he should be included in all top 4 combos here. VALSOEUR (10) did nothing on debut when well in the market at Tauranga, and she will be hoping to strike a suitable wet track this time. Don't drop her yet. TRIPLE THREAT (1) fought hard fresh up at Hawera when finishing second by a head there 5 weeks ago. Stick with him. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silky Shuba can win, and Valsoeur at each-way value.
