El Arish can work over from a wide alley to lead. TESTWIN (9) has won both of his starts back from a spell at BM65 level in emphatic fashion. He will have no trouble stepping up to 1400m, and is on target to complete a deserved hat-trick of wins. SMART LOVE (14) won her last start before a spell, and then won fresh up at Te Rapa 4 weeks ago. She is a mare going places, and this grade won't hold her for long. Stick with her. EL VIENTO (4) was very fresh when resuming at Ellerslie just over 5 weeks ago, and though he was beaten, he was not that far off the winner. The form of that race has since been franked, and a form reversal can be expected. Each way value. ACCIDENTAL TOURIST (1) will be peaking third up and has the advantage of a 4kg claim. He won his only start on this track, which is important, and with the right run, he can return to some decent form again. BIG WAVE (7) backed up a big maiden win here with an even better performance to score at Ellerslie just over 3 weeks ago. He cops another nasty gate, but go again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Testwin to take the next step and complete a hat-trick of wins.
