SARISSA (7) will find this easier than last start when 13th over 1600m at Listed level at Riccarton Park, that effort coming on the back of a win two back at Ashburton. Looks well placed and is sure to be in the finish. SONNET (9) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish ninth over 1400m at Riccarton Park in a disappointing performance. Has the class to figure prominently. MISS EMERALD (8) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, at Ashburton over 1400m. Among the winning hopes. ARDOUR (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Riccarton Park, beaten 3.5 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
