CHUR NIBBLE (1) has run good seconds in each start so far. Can overcome a wide draw here and win. THE SKY ABOVE (4) she has been seven times placed. Two of those were seconds this time in on dry and wet footing. Can cope with a wide draw in this too. OBAN (2) he resumes here. Has been course placed before. Drawn to be in the finish here or the first fours. VADANOVA (11) resumes after a recent trial win. Ran well in her first two starts on wet ground. Include the filly everywhere you can in this particular field. PORTLAND (14) is an improver who looks ideally placed here. Won an Ellerslie trial prior. Not out of this at overs.
