COMPLICATE (4) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when sixth in a 1800m contest at Riccarton Park two weeks ago. Has the ability to take care of this field. PAR TEE (2) finished sixth last time out over 2400m at Wingatui, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has a strong record here at this trip with two wins from four runs. Leading contender. LOCHNABERRY (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 2000m at Gore, beaten 9 lengths into 11th. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. THEODEN (5) has been freshened up since he finished eighth over 2400m in the LR Dunedin Gold Cup at Wingatui five weeks ago. Form here over this distance is very good with a win and three minor placings from four starts. Not to be discounted.
