DESERT MYSTIC (1) produced a reasonable effort when third last start over 1600m at Matamata, beaten 2.5 lengths. That followed a win at Matamata the start prior. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to feature. KOHEROA (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when sixth over 1400m at Ellerslie four weeks ago. Has the class to put the recent run of form behind him. NO SECRET (12) finished out of the money two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 7 lengths when tenth in a 2000m contest at Matamata five weeks ago. Taking on a better line-up this time but she cannot be taken lightly. DIMAGGIO (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1400m at Ellerslie. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders.
