HIGH COUNTRY (2) resumed with a big run for fourth fresh up at Te Aroha a fortnight ago, and he usually improves quickly with racing. He goes straight from a mile to 1800m and gets a chance to post an overdue second career win here. BADGERINGDAWITNESS (1) battled on gamely for fourth fresh up at Trentham when needing the run. He cops a good draw, and if he doesn't need this run as well, then he can figure in the top 3 here. EXPLOSIVE IMPACT (6) has run on too late in her last couple of starts over a mile. The extra furlong will suit her, and she can take this out. PROBOY (3) had an excuse for a modest run fresh up in a stronger field at Ellerslie 18 days ago over 1400m. It is encouraging to see him step straight up to 1800m, and he is well worth including in all multiples to be safe.
