OPPENHEIMER (1) showed speed but faded when racing well out of his rightful grade second up at Ellerslie nearly 3 weeks ago. He was narrowly beaten at Te Rapa when resuming from a spell before that, and is the one to beat back in BM65 company here. SIR FERGUS (3) was given no chance fresh up at Ellerslie when settling too far back early on. Craig Grylls replaces an apprentice, and expect this gelding to be ridden more positively here. He is down in class and ready to bounce back. SOARING PENGSHAN (4) kicked up to lead here last time out, and then raced too keenly in front. Dropping back from a mile to 1400m is key, and he is worth another chance. BEETLEGEUSE (5) pulled too hard in front fresh up, and will have a senior hoop aboard second up. Include in all combos.
