SPARTAN (1) hit the frame two starts ago at Riccarton Park but ran below par last time when 11th and beaten 6 lengths over 1200m at Riccarton Park. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. DRAGON BISCUIT (11) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fourth in a 1200m contest at Riccarton Park three-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Finds a nice race and can take this out. PENVOSE LAD (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Wingatui, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Strips fitter and can feature. MITRE PEAK (8) finished second over 1400m at Riccarton Park Synthetic at her most recent appearance on August 24. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
