WITZ END (6) hasn’t raced since finishing second over 1600m at Te Rapa on May 24. He’s won twice when fresh and is good enough to take this out fresh up. SLIPPER ISLAND (5) resumes after ending his last campaign in brilliant form with four straight wins, the latest over 1200m at this track on April 12. He excels at this distance on this track, boasting five wins and a minor placing from six starts, making him a key player in a nice field. MAROTIRI MOLLY (1) hasn’t been seen since finishing well-back over 1400m in the G3 Rotorua Stakes at Arawa Park on May 10. She looked ready to race when winning a recent trial at Waverley very easily. SPENCER (2) just battled on without much luck in the G3 Foxbridge Plate over 1200m at Te Rapa. He has a strong record here with two wins from three starts, and can bounce straight back into the top 3 here. FARRAVALLO (8) won't lack fitness and he ha each-way claims again.
