SKITT SMILING and RHYTHMIC QUEEN made encouraging introductions and would have benefitted from that experience. Both made eye-catching headway once getting the hang of things late so the step up to this distance should be more with their liking. HARTREE fits a similar profile and should have more to offer following a pleasing course-and-distance debut. KING SOLOMON and ONE STATE could get involved if building on improved last starts. Watch the betting on well-bred newcomer GREEN FAIRWAY.

LIGHTINTHEWOODS has shown promise in each outing over a shorter trip and won't need to improve much over this extended distance to open her account. EMPRESS OF PEACE and TREX ON FIRE have the form and experience over this trip to trouble the selection. REGAL QUEEN has earning potential, while any market support for newcomer TU GIUSTO will need to be taken seriously.

BEST CANDIDATE has rediscovered his best form after gelding and remains open to improvement. He stayed on to finish a close-up 3rd in a stronger race over 1800m and a similar performance over this extended trip off an unchanged mark should suffice in this grade. ROBERT BROWNING finished ahead of the selection last time and has experience over 2000m but has less scope for progress. Last-start winner MOUNT DARWIN and consistent KUDZU are proven hard-knockers at this level and should remain competitive. DECEPTION PASS and EIGER SANCTION have the means to make their presence felt too.

WINTER IN AUCKLAND beat GEOSTORM over track and trip recently but the latter could avenge that on 2.5kg better terms. Class-dropper STONEYWOOD gives weight to all but is a course-and-distance winner with the means to play a leading role under a 2.5kg-claiming apprentice. Hat-trick seeking KIA KAHA is unbeaten with cheekpieces fitted and remains competitive with the headgear retained. TRADITIONAL BELIEF and stablemate TURBO POWER complete the shortlist.

PLUS FOUR overcame a tardy start when running out an authoritative winner over track and trip last time. Runner-up UMZINGELI WENYATHI is 1kg better off but unlikely to turn the tables on the former, whose resultant 7-point penalty should not halt his momentum. JUST THE TWO OF US has found her niche racing with cheekpieces fitted and remains competitive with the headgear retained. ESPINOZA and IT'S PERSONAL also have the means to make their presence felt.

PRECOCIOUS concedes weight to older male rivals but is the best-weighted runner in the lineup and open to improvement stretching out to this trip for the first time since relocating to the Highveld. Versatile SLINKY MAPIMPI had excuses for a disappointing last start and should play a leading role if bouncing back to earlier form. RADICCHIO was unlucky not to have finished closer over this trip last time so is best kept onside. LEAD THE CHARGE has benefitted from the application of cheekpieces so warrants resppect, as does progressive 3yo QUICKFREEZE with the his cheekpieces refitted.

CAPE SAFFRON finished behind AMERICAN BEAUTY in a stronger race over 1400m last time but is weighted to turn the tables on that rival. VAMANOS is held on that form but will appreciate reverting to this course so may pose more of a threat off a reduced mark. FISH HAWK and SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE are lightly raced 3yo fillies with scope for improvement and the means to make their presence felt. Last-start winner BEAUTIFUL RANIA has more to do stepping up to this class but could have more to offer in her peak outing. PRINCESS ILARIA and POINTER have earning potential too.

Consistent WINDS OF GRACE was well-backed last time and acquitted herself well in a stronger race over 1450m. A repeat of that effort in this grade off an unchanged mark could suffice. Stablemate WINTER VOICE is a frontrunner and could be dangerous over this shorter trip under a 1.5kg claimer. ONCEINABLUEMOON and MASTER'S ROSE had excuses last time and are capable of better. Both could have a say in the outcome if bouncing back to earlier form. FIERY FROLIC caught the eye when a fast finisher (not beaten far) over 1160m last time so shouldn't be underestimated over this extended trip.
