MA TE WA (2) is a progressive gelding who was runner-up over 1200m at New Plymouth Raceway on July 19. He will be stronger this season, and his recent trial win will have him spot on fresh up. On top. WINGMAN (5) returns after a five-and-a-half-month break, and he will be aiming to replicate his first-up win at Waverley from the last campaign. Each way chance. CATHERINENZ (6) struggled in her last run before a spell on July 19, finishing well back over 1600m at New Plymouth Raceway. She is much better than that, and looks ready to rumble after finishing third in a recent tune-up trial. COCOBILL (7) impressed with a win two starts ago and showed early speed last time before finishing seventh over 1400m at Woodville. Likely to race on the pace and is expected to bounce straight back into the money. BENEFACTOR (1) has been freshened up since her last start 8 weeks ago at Otaki. She is down in class, and can't be left out of any combinations.
