KABUGEE (2) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished tenth when fresh from a spell two starts back at Wingatui then improved and scored over 1400m at Riccarton Park three weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SAY SATONO (4) was always well out of her ground when 16 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1600m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at Riccarton Park the run before. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. TOUGH TIME (11) is in top form, most recently recording a win by a nose over 1400m at Ascot Park to make it two on the bounce. Should measure up again. CANDYCANE (3) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1400m at Riccarton Park then fought on gamely to finish second. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role.
