Plenty of pace from Eddie's Dream, Highly Anticipated and Doctor Iris primarily. FASTDEELDUN (1) built strongly to a well-deserved maiden win at Matamata a month ago on a very testing track. A wide draw might be a blessing in disguise by this time of the day, and he can repeat the dose. HIGHLY ANTICIPATED (5) was well-ridden in front at Pukekohe last time out and kicked hard along the rails to score by a neck. He is only up 1.5kg in weight, and can take them all the way again. THE TRENDSETTER (7) was heavily supported second up at Tauranga just over 3 weeks ago and was too strong, scoring by over 2 lengths after contesting the pace the whole way. She is bred to improve with more racing, and there is no reason why she can't win again. EDDIE'S DREAM (14) just peaked on his run at Tauranga 10 days ago when racing keenly just off the pace. He is knocking on the door, and won't be far away. ELOISE (4) battled on late after settling a touch too far back at Pukekohe 3 weeks ago. She is rock-hard fit and can bounce back into the top 3 here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eddie's Dream could be one to cause a minor upset.
