HAYATE (11) tackles the jumps for the first time. Last raced when she finished 11th in a over 2000m at Cambridge Synthetic on June 4. Sure to be well-schooled and is going to be right in the finish. SIR MAVERICK (2) has been mixing the disciplines recently. Unplaced two back on the flat then finished second last start (2800m) at this track, beaten a nose. Not to be taken lightly. BRIAN LAMONT (3) is going over the jumps for the first time. Finished 2.75 lengths away fourth at the latest appearance on the flat over 2400m at Ellerslie. Anticipating a bright start to the new phase of his career. DOCTOR IRIS (5) unfortunately took a tumble on his jumps debut (3100m) at Te Aroha. Among the better chances.
