CHARMROSE (5) missed out on a hat-trick of wins when being run down late for fifth at Ellerslie nearly 5 weeks ago. She clung on by a head here before that, and with Opie Bosson in the saddle this time, she will take some pegging back. PARAVANE (11) showed pace to lead and bolt in by 3 lengths at Te Aroha fresh up just over 5 weeks ago. Se cops a wide gate here, but is expected to be very competitive again. Each way. TAKESHI (1) set the pace fresh up and only weakened late when finishing fifth in his only run this season in the spring. He has trialled since then, and is well worth each-way consideration. YALDI (2) is back in NZ after recently racing in Victoria, and he has the pace to hold his spot from the pole position. The market will be a good guide to his chances. EGYPTIAN QUEEN (3) has been consistent throughout her career in some good fields, and she resumes from a spell with 2 trials under her belt. If she doesn't need the hit-out, then with a hot pace likely, she can win.
