CARAVELLA (5) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then was never in contention last start when 17 lengths away in seventh over 1200m at Riccarton Park. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. EARS BACK (1) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing sixth over 1600m in the G3 White Robe Lodge Hcp at Wingatui last start. Better than the last run suggests. CANDYCANE (4) had been racing well with two placings on end before finishing fifth last start over 1400m at Riccarton Park. Returns to the course where she finished second two runs back. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. LA BELLA NERA (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Wingatui, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
