|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo assured from Rima Rua Toru and Bonnie Gem leading the charge. PRESTISSIMO (9) was unsuited by a muddling pace at Hastings last time out, and his nose defeat before that at Waverley is the guide to use. She is likely to be ridden more positively early on in this modest field, and she has a great chance to post another win. RIMA RUA TORU (1) has more upside than most in this, and his debut run on the Cambridge poly track was very good, before finishing fifth there in a tougher field last time out. He has trialled up nicely on the turf, and he is expected to be hard to hold out here. ANAROA (3) has been not too bad on the Awapuni synthetic surface, but a reasonable turf surface here would be more suitable. He has an improved draw, and is worth including in all combos. BONNIE GEM (4) should be peaking third up, and she has won a trial since her last run at Ruakaka nearly 6 weeks ago. Expect a lot better here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prestissimo can win this.
