VIVA LA VIDA (5) resumes after finishing eighth at his latest appearance at this track on October 11. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. TIOGA PASS (3) made a nice return at his latest appearance three days ago, finishing 3 metres away in second over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of getting the job done. STARSTRUCK (6) is in the mix at her first run since finishing fifth over 2000m at Rangiora six months ago. BONJOUR PARIS (2) could feature while fresh.
