PENVOSE LAD (7) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.3 lengths over 1000m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Sure to go well again. VICTOR ROUGE (5) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. TADITA (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Ashburton, beaten 4 lengths. Second up record is sound. Meets a stronger field but she is fitter and capable of running a bold race. BUOYANT (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Riverton, beaten 2.5 lengths into seventh. Better than recent efforts suggest.
