STOLEN MAGIC (2) found the company in the Listed Spring Classic at Riccarton a bit tough, and is much better placed in this company. He has won twice over this trip, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he is the one to beat. ALLIBOR (5) will be peaking third up, and will relish getting out to 2200m for the first time since relocating to New Zealand. A wide draw won't hinder him, and he can figure in the top 3. PRINCE ALBY (1) made light work of his rivals on Sunday when carrying a light weight. If he backs up here, then he has to be a winning hope again. KAHMA SUITSYA (6) has finished third in both of her starts since moving to the South Island. She has the pole position, and the key here is the step up to 2200m. She should go close to winning this. I HOPE I NEVER (8) made the most of a clever ride when rushing around to lead mid-race at Gore last time out, and holding on to win by a neck. She drops 4kg, and can measure up here as well.
