Reptak should lead at a slick tempo. SCOLERA (9) returns from a short break after showing good form last campaign, including a strong placing at Ellerslie fresh up. She looked in good condition when winning a recent trial late last month, and with some luck, she can finish all over the top of her rivals late here. ERIN GO BRAGH (7) resumed with a fair effort at Ellerslie as the favourite when peaking late to finish sixth. She should strip fitter for that outing, and she has enough ability to give this a shake. Follow your money. TESTWIN (5) has an excellent fresh record and resumes off a handy trial placing ahead of this assignment. He has been patiently handled, and he demands plenty of respect. SHE'S ALL THAT (4) was disappointing here last start after a smart Trentham win two runs earlier. She is worth another chance, and despite her wide gate, she can easily bounce back into the money. PRUDENTIA (14) has the pole position, and she has to be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Erin Go Bragh each way.
