BELLE TRIBUTE (2) was a big winner at Otaki fresh up, before finishing on late for seventh at Trentham last week when less than 2 lengths from the winner. She has 3kg less to carry this time, and she is expected to bounce straight back into the money here. STEAL MY THUNDER (1) made good progress during a spring campaign, and her recent freshen up would have done her no harm. She has had a tune-up trial, and she will be ready to rumble in this. Each way value. DESERT MYSTIC (3) ran a much better race for second at Te Aroha 3 weeks ago. He is peaking now and can go one better. BAY EXPRESS (5) is a tough local who won his last start at Whanganui by a neck, and now that he is fit, he can hold his form. Go again. FREEBELLE (7) won't lack fitness and drops back from a middle distance. A wet track is no problem, so stick with her,
