Prize Money: $59,091

KOMOCEAN (4) the filly is yet to be beaten on raceday. Has won on dry and wet footing. The hat-trick looms large here. KERETI (3) broke through for his Maiden win over 1000m at Tauherenikau fresh up. She gets an overseas rider atop. Serious chance in this field. HONEY BADGER (5) is a talented filly who finished 3.5 lengths behind Hitabell over 1600m in the G2 Ladies' Mile (Eight Carat Classic) at Ellerslie. Blinkers go on today. Multiple class dropper here. Wet tracker so far. Still a main threat. BALLON D'OR (1) he is racing well. Trifecta and first four chance drawn the ace again. ALBAROSSA (2) won well at his last start and can measure up again here. Not to be overlooked. SPECIAL SAKURA (6) she can handle dry and wet ground. Drawn out but has upside.

Last time out favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.75 len at this track December 21 over 1200m defeating Ballon D'or with 55kg at $2.40. Yet to be beaten. Has won on dry and wet footing. The hat-trick looms large.
