CRUZ WITH ROME (9) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1 5/16m here beaten 2.5 metres. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Tackles a similar assignment and he can give this a mighty shake. ABOVE AVERAGE (1) finished seventh last start, beaten 7 metres at this venue over 1 5/16m. Expected to run well. AUCKLAND LASS (10) was in the money two starts ago then things went amiss last start when she broke and finished a long last over 1 5/16m at this circuit. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back. STEAL SOME TIME (2) disappointed last time when sixth over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering for the multiples.
