Greenwich should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. CEASE AND DESIST (3) capped off some improving form with a tough win by a head at Matamata nearly 3 weeks ago. He has the breeding to continue to improve with more time, and Opie Bosson keeps the faith. Go again. EVER CHARM (6) flashed home late, fresh up for third, and then ran on too late again when finishing fifth at Tauranga nearly 5 weeks ago. He gets a superior gate for his peak run, and he will be among the hardest to beat in this. MIDORI BURLY (15) has needed both of his starts since relocating from Hong Kong after a long spell earlier in the season. He will relish getting out to a mile, and from a good gate, he cannot be taken lightly. Each-way value. LERADO (2) was out of the money, but not far off the winner at Ellerslie 11 days ago. He is not out of this at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Midori Burly and Lerado should both be worth backing at each-way odds.
