Pace solid from Mic Drop going forward from an outside draw along with Nextonixs. PRAIRIE FLOWER (1) hasn’t won for a long time but she’s a quality mare with a sharp turn of foot when things fall her way. She’s been finding trouble but still showing she’s going well. Kept fresh with a trial and gets Pannell for the first time, which could spark a change of luck. MIC DROP (9) keeps stepping up and is going too well to ignore. She was only run down late in the Manihi by a hot favourite and should burn across from the wide alley to give them something to catch. GREAT MAXIMUS (4) needs a smart steer from the car-park draw but he has talent and drops back to a sprinting trip off a five-week freshen. Don’t dismiss him. THUNDER SHOC (5) couldn’t keep up in the Matrice Stakes last week but backs up quickly and is worth forgiving on her earlier work. WINNING REVOLUTION (10) finished full of running fresh and can cause trouble late if they overdo it in front. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Prairie Flower.
