Reasonable tempo with Sunshine Ale probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. ROARING BEBE (3) is an ex-Hong Kong-trained gelding who wasted no time in recording his first win when second up in NZ at Te Rapa just over 5 weeks ago. He has a good draw and is good enough to repeat the dose, especially on a wet track. STIPULATOR (9) showed a bit more when running on late for third at Whanganui nearly 2 weeks ago, finishing less than a length from the winner. She has the pole position and can hold her form now. HAKKINEN (1) is resuming from a short let-up and has been kept up to the mark with a trial since his last run at Te Rapa just before Christmas. Watch for him late. SATTRIYA (8) built strongly to score an easy maiden win here just over 3 weeks ago on a heavy track. She has more in store and can add to her tally immediately. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stipulator each way value.
