IRIDESCENT (9) is a locally trained filly who made her debut on her home track here and finished a game third. She had won both of her trials before that and should go close to taking this out. KUDOS (2) won the latest of his 4 public trials before finishing runner-up by a short-head here a fortnight ago on this track. He cops a wide gate this time, but still has to be respected. Each way. AMULET (6) ran her best race fresh up last prep when finishing runner-up at Taupo. She has needed time to strengthen up and looked in good condition at a recent trial. A wide gate is no help, but she can still figure in the top 3. MISS SETH (10) ran on late for fourth in the same race as the top pick last start. She strips fitter, and if the gaps come at the right time, she can have the last say. DON'T TELL RACHEL (7) was heavily supported last time out at Matamata on a very heavy track and weakened late to finish midfield. She is likely to find a firmer surface here and can bounce back. Each way.
