CHASE 'N' GOLD (4) finished second at Wingatui two runs back but was less effective last time over 2200m at Oamaru, finishing 7 lengths back in sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MATETSI (1) finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 2000m at Riccarton Park five days ago. Steps up in distance today. Right in the mix. EXTREME POWER (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fourth over 1600m at this track eight weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. OUR KIWI GIRL (8) travelled in a rearwards position then made a little ground and finished 4.5 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1600m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Leading hope.
