ASCENSION (8) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1600m at Te Aroha. Ready for a bold run. COMPULSORY (1) produced a good effort last start when second over 1400m at Ellerslie to make it four minor placings from five starts this preparation. Drawn out but does go back and work into his races. Will prove hard to hold out. LETSWISHUPONASTAR (12) is a mare by Satono Aladdin out of Let's Be A Star who is at the races for the first time today. In the placings at most recent Ellerslie trial. Looks set to run well. LAE ZEE (7) finished 2.5 lengths adrift in fifth when resuming from a spell last start over 1215m at Arawa Park. Placed at her only other second up appearance. Well placed to make amends.
