SAKURAJIMA (8) did little and finished 10 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1600m at Wingatui last start, a less impressive effort than her ninth at Wingatui the run before. The engagement of Donovan Cooper is a positive move. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. AMIINIT (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 12 lengths when 13th in a 1600m contest at Riccarton Park a week-and-a-half ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. PING (7) hit the frame two starts ago at Riccarton Park but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1600m at Riccarton Park. Has the talent to put the recent run behind her. ALMANAC (12) was beaten 4 lengths into fifth at the second run back from a break over 1600m at Wingatui at his latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
