Four Square Pete and Air Dancer to roll forward and dictate the tempo. SO CALL ME (2) kept up his strong jumping record with a game effort for second here just over 2 weeks ago, and he still retains plenty of dash to be very competitive at amateur riders' level on the flat. He looks to be the one to beat here. AIR DANCER (4) was a comfortable winner at Whanganui nearly 7 weeks ago at BM65 level, and has won a trial over hurdles since then. He has been placed in his only start on this course, and he can figure in the top 3 again. KEEN ON BUBBLES (6) has been building her fitness, and she will be nearing her peak fourth-up from a spell. Each-way value. ZIGGY KHAN (7) ran on powerfully late for second at Te Aroha 6 days ago, and she would only need to repeat that performance to be hard to beat here. Stick with her. JACKS PRIDE (8) resumes from a spell without any trials. Trust that she is fit, and include her in all top 4 combos to be safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: So Call Me can win this.
