Bazelle a 2 mile winner in NZ has had no luck past couple of starts and she should relish the slow track today..

Mahtoum is a 3200M winner and in form!
Art Success meets Mahtoum 5kg better on last start so good chance if able to run out a strong 3200.
And some REAL ruffs EW - Colmaine and Lord Rupert.
