Nice run for third over 1400m last time, when on the pace, and with good draw might keep them all at bay in the run to the finish

F: 62782B(7)W(59.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )

14 Lightning Dream
F: 4B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Held up when coming strongly, late on debut and sure to be better for the run. The odds seem generous, which is a bit of a concern for a Te Akau runner with Opie up

Looks like a good chance for Opie here. Lovely 'introductory' run at Taupo four weeks ago and just needs to over wide draw

F: 254B(5)W(57.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

Clearly well thought of to be put up against Captured By Love and co in December and then another Stakes race 18 days ago. Should get a confidence boosting win here with Warren Kennedy on the reins

3 Alminette
F: 34229B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )
Te Akau runner that was close up in two runs prior to doing nothing (from outside draw) here in late February. Opie is riding again and from rails draw, looks certain to get the perfect run
Main Danger
7 Ka Ying Lucky
F: 60352B(2)W(57.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-B & R Foote )
Thought it a good ride by Courtney Barnes last start, just getting outfought over the last bit. Gate 2 tomorrow should see it on the pace again

1 Dragon Biscuit
F: 00172B(6)W(59.5)

Looks to have the beating of Hanalei, having beaten it both times they ran recently. One of the form candidates here
Consider
4 Hanalei
F: 93815B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Paul Richards )
Dominant win here two back and repeat of that puts it in the mix. Matt Cameron rode then and is reunited today

( J-Warren Kennedy )

Won in the manner of a very good galloper here last month, making it four wins from only eight starts, and three of last four. Clearly progressive, Warren Kennedy will be confident of success in this $35k Cup
Main Danger
6 Polygon
F: 97338B(2)W(55.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Lance Noble )
Astute trainer who has prepared this 4yo mare beautifully for this race. 1400m run will have sharpened it up nicely and she will enjoy this 2000m today

Consider
1 Langkawi
F: 84802B(9)W(60.0)
( J-Darren Danis )

Andrew Forsman gave this one a warm up race two weeks ago, when back from a spell. Joe Doyle is worth a few lengths

7 Dembe
F: 6B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )

Will have learnt plenty from debut run over 1600m, when going back to last but finishing on well in the straight. Gets an extra 400m here and that should be to advantage

Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: X3842B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )

Second last start (Dembe back in 6th) and on its performances to date, justifies favouritism. Has been running on well up to 1600m so 2000m should hold no fears

F: 88224B(11)W(58.0)
