MAKAROV (4) came with a big run wide to score over 1400m on debut then fought on well from just off the pace last time. Respect with the top jockey sticking with him. QUEEN SANSA (12) on the pace and took over turn then held on gamely at Te Aroha last start after game placings over this trip the two starts before. Wound claims in this form. GOSSIP (13) had 3 quiet trials before launching a big run from the tail for a close 6th at Hastings late last month. Step up to 1650m ideal. POROTENE TIGER (5) backed up a nice trial win with an all the way blitz here last month. Has placed at this trip so must be respected. KAWATIRI (6) is yet to figure first-up but has had 3 trials in recent weeks and goes well at this trip. Can add some value here.
