MA BELLE AMIE (2) showed good improvement in the latest appearance at this circuit, coming from this barrier to place. Takes a step up in distance. A repeat of the latest performance would stack up well here. BRIGHTMAN (4) was let down by manners last time but there was merit in the prior form. Finds a nice race so can be a major force if he gets it right. BIG AL (5) came from wider in finishing third over this distance at Rangiora last time out. Contender. STAR INVASION (8) is another that made mistakes last time but he is good enough to make an impact in this line-up if he brings his A-game.
