LORD POPINJAY (9) should find this easier than the last attempt when fifth in the Greenlane Cup and had been flying with four successive wins prior. Loves this circuit with five wins and a placing from six visits. Can return to winning form. HIGH ENERGY (6) hasn't quite performed to market expectations at her last couple but was going well prior with a Hawera win and an Alexandra Park placing in her previous two outings. Can measure up with her A-game. CASTANA (1) gets the ace draw and is hard to knock having recorded a win and two placings from his last three outings here. AMERICAN MUSCLE (7) gets a softer handicap than last time and won over this longer distance four back.
