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

Just a moderate tempo headed by The Diviner, Richie's Dream and Vague. TEXAS (7) loomed along the inside and peaked late at Reefton 3 days ago. He will be better for that run, and he is good enough to win this. Follow your money. SHEAF (9) left her run too late at Reefton 3 days ago, and will be hoping to settle a touch closer this time. She is another with winning claims. Stick with her. THE DIVINER (4) will be chasing a hat-trick after leading all the way to score at Kurow over 1400m. He steps up in trip for the first time, and around this circuit, he will take some pegging back again. RICHIE'S DREAM (8) has yet to fire in 2 starts over the holiday period, but can hold her spot early on from the pole position, and is not the worst for top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Texas can win this.
