Expecting Shameless Boy to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. MY FERRARI (3) made a mess of a modest BM65 field at Trentham just over 3 weeks ago, running away with it to score by over 6 lengths. He is up in weight, and this field has more depth to it, but he has always promised a lot, and we think he can go on with it now. MARANELLO (1) was an upset winner fresh up in his first run from the Natacha Otto stable, and then showed it was no fluke when rushing home for second at Hawera 2 weeks ago. Stick with him. AMUSEMENT (11) has found it hard to win another race, but her form is heading the right way. Her stable has trekked a fair way to be here, and she is good enough to take this out. RIPPANALL (6) peaked on his run late when finishing third at Hawera a fortnight ago, and he should be right in the finish again. GO TRIGGER (4) has been racing a lot more consistently this prep, and he will only continue to improve with more racing. He loves it wet, and is a must for all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: My Ferrari can repeat the dose.
