WAITAK (1) has put together back-to-back G1 wins, the latest the Livamol Classic at Ellerslie over 2040m 7 weeks ago. He has been kept up to the mark with a recent trial at Taupo, and even with a drop back to a mile, he will be hard to beat again. LA CRIQUE (7) has been freshened up after suffering a setback. She was runner-up behind the top pick at Te Rapa 10 weeks ago. She comes to hand quickly, and if she doesn't need the hit-out, then she will give this a big shake. LADIES MAN (2) ran on too late when finishing fourth as the favourite at Tauranga 3 weeks ago at G2 level. He is proven in this elite company and has a good record on this track. Stick with him on an each-way basis. LEGARTO (6) has also not raced since finishing fifth behind the top pick at Te Rapa 10 weeks ago. She is brilliant at her best, and a recent soft trial win says she is right in target for this assignment. AGERA (3) got up late to win the G2 Tauranga Stakes 3 weeks ago, and is a chance in this as well.
