NORTHEASTERLY (5) Folded up in the straight when 7th last time at Te Aroha. Expecting improvement and going back up in trip. Looks promising in this race. ZENAZED (6) Threw down a serious challenge last time at Tauherenikau and goes down in class. Should jump out and bowl along. Has won 2 from 4 attempts on a soft surface. Will be there at the finish. MYAKKABELLE (3) Came in 7th last start at Tauranga but challenged by less formidable competitors. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. In the mix. UNLEASH THE BEAST (7) Reeled them in when winning last run at Riccarton Park and facing a weaker group of contenders. Expected to be flashing home. Running with confidence this preparation. Has the ability to figure.
