BEST ROSE (5) was less than a length from the winner in second at this track on debut before breaking through for a strong win over 1000m at this track last start on soft going. Nice alley a plus so she can go on with it. ZELIA (6) returns from a short break after a minor placing over 1000m at this track a month ago. Fitness levels maintained by a recent Ashburton trial placing. Well placed and is among the main chances. QUISIERA (7) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Wingatui over 1100m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back. SHAFTED (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1100m at Wingatui, beaten 4.5 lengths. Fitter so a likely improver.
