VIRGO VIVA (7) was a big-priced winner on debut by a nose on this track, and then battled on fairly well in the G2 Sarten Memorial just over 8 weeks ago. She has trialled since then, and back in this more suitable company, she can bounce straight back into the winner's circle. MERCY (11) is backing up 9 days after finishing a game runner-up on debut at Otaki over 1200m. The extra furlong is ideal, and even out of her class, she has top 4 claims. UNISON (1) won fresh up in his first start since arriving from Hong Kong. He was quite impressive that day, and can take the next step immediately. NOW NOT NEVER (6) would have learned a lot from his debut effort for fifth over this trip at Te Aroha 3 weeks ago. Rory Hutchings sticks with him, and so do we. THINK I GOT CHA (2) finished fourth on a heavy track fresh up at New Plymouth just over 3 weeks ago over 1200m. He has been trying to win a race for some time, but is capable of another top 4 finish with the right run.

    Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, won by a nose at this track October 10 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Capote with 54kg at $26.90. Last start 8th of 12 at Tauranga in the G2 James and Annie Sarten Memorial Stakes on November 1 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Swiss Prince carrying 55kg at $26.80. Has ability and is worth another chance.
