AIRPARK HUSTLER (1) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 5 lengths away in 11th last time out over 1400m at Trentham six weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. The one to beat in this line up. BELLUTTA (16) turned in a strong run two starts ago at Riccarton Park then failed to back it up over 1800m at Riccarton Park last time, beaten 17 lengths into 14th. Coming back in trip suits so should prove tough to beat. EPILOGUE (10) hit the frame two starts ago at Riccarton Park but ran below par last time when 14th and beaten 7 lengths over 1600m at Riccarton Park. Likely improver with strong prospects. INFERNAPE (11) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.3 lengths over 1400m at Ashburton. Sure to be in the mix.
