ENDEAN ACE (3) missed the placings two starts ago and was never a factor last time out over 2400m at Te Rapa. He has the ability and is right down in the grades now, so don't risk him. On top. CARIGNAN (6) has been well-backed in his last couple of runs but hasn’t delivered, most recently finishing sixth over 1650m at Waverley. He steps back out to a middle distance and is ready to put his best hoof forward in this modest field. TE ATATU MEMPHIS (12) hasn’t won for a long time, extending that drought with a sixth-place finish over 2200m here last start. He drops in class, and is worth one more chance. HOOTIE JOHNSON (8) ran a solid fourth over 2200m at this track last start, and that sort of form is more than enough to make the top 3 in this field. Each way value. TEAK (5) did nothing last start but was good as favourite when third at Arawa Park before that. Go again.
