WHEN STARS ALIGN (2) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing second over 1200m at New Plymouth Raceway when he was handy all the way. The extra journey should play into his hands. Ideally placed to take this out. ROMILLY (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1500m at Ellerslie after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. MILLE GRAZIE (8) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1200m at Taupo three-and-a-half weeks ago. Sure to play a major role. DARCI'S ANGEL (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Taupo, beaten 2.75 lengths into sixth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
