WAR OF SUCCESSION (10) charged home and just missed out on winning by a neck here when resuming 4 weeks ago. He is likely to settle just off the pace from a good draw, and can have the last say this time. KIWI SKYHAWK (5) ended his 3-year-old campaign with a brace of good wins, including his last start on this course at G3 level over 2100m. He will be running on late here and can figure in the top 3. ZORMELLA (16) was a beaten favourite fresh up on an unsuitable slow track here 6 weeks ago. She only needs a firmer surface to turn that result right around. Follow your money. Can win. BALANCE OF POWER (1) ran on late for seventh fresh up here 6 weeks ago. He is usually much sharper second up and should be right there at the business end this time. TAKESHI (3) set the pace fresh up at Te Rapa nearly 5 weeks ago, and was only caught late, finishing fifth. He will be hard to peg back again in this. CASEMIRO (22) was less than a length from the winner fresh here 4 weeks ago. Each way.
