MR MIKI (6) ran third last start at Alexandra Park over 2200m, beaten 2.25 metres. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. WHATZ MY CHOICE (8) finished eighth last start over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway, beaten 19 metres, after a good second at Ashburton Raceway the run prior. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Meets a similar line up and he can make amends. VINCENT REACTRESS (7) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1980m at Addington last time out. Worth considering. THE ELITE ATHLETE (1) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 2000m.
