HARLECH (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. SOUTH OF HOUSTON (6) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1200m at Trentham. Best figures measure up favourably. BELLUCCI (8) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on her last start third at this track over 1400m when beaten 2.25 lengths. Kylie Williams has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Has claims on her best figures. MISS NICO BELLE (11) is back from a break of six months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when tenth over 1200m at Ashburton. Has switched to the Anna Furlong stable over the break. Definite top-three chance.
