Brings winning C&D form to the table; not beaten that far over 5f here (handicap) two weeks ago; this line-up contains some strong opposition so makes little appeal.

Finishing second was a good effort 14 days ago behind Winter In Auckland; this just his fifth race; been raised a little in the ratings; facing a tougher assignment than last time, one to tread carefully with.

From a respected stable and on a good mark based on best form; not beaten too far when sixth here last month; should not be far away as might be able to capitalise on his reduced mark and he has shown signs of promise in the past.

Finished in front of Turbo Power and Peregrine Falcon (dropped to this trip) when beaten 10l three months ago; has scored over C&D; this just her fifth race; likely to go well if finding her best form and handicapper has cut her some slack.

Tailed off when dropped back to this distance last month; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in October); easy enough to take on with several rivals in good nick.

Verdict

KIA KAHA rates a strong recommendation. She can point to better recent form than the main dangers after her success last time and has been a winner over this C&D. Traditional Belief has winning form over C&D.
