Top-class Kiwi trotter OSCAR BONAVENA NZ (11) makes his first appearance since a midfield finish at G1 level at Alexandra Park six weeks ago but has been readied with a trial win here. Tricky draw but is good enough to overcome it. GUS NZ (13) kicked off his campaign with back-to-back placings before delivering last week, coming from a 30m handicap to win well. Building nicely and could go on with the job now. NOT AS PROMISED (7) has been freshened since a NZ campaign and has a terrific strike rate at this circuit and distance so could show his best. ZEALOUS SPUR NZ (10) has won his last two attempts behind a mobile, leading and proving too strong last start. Go well. LOVE GUN (5) is worth including off a win here two back.
