AVITUS (2) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten one length, over 1200m at this track. Should settle handy in the run. Will play a major role. HIVARI (3) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when eighth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can win if at his best. EASTANDWEST (6) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a head over 1200m at Ashburton. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is worth including. DISCRETION RULES (1) is closing in on a win after two consecutive placings, the latest a third over 1200m at this track. Yet to miss the top three here in four starts. Can sneak into the finish.
