She won in good style the first day fit, Avondale. Wotan and Enge will have to be taken on trust. Valamito is handily situated. He has been running well of late, his good third over the distance on the latter day at Avondale being indicative of an early return to the winning lists. Further down the handicap we have a consistent performer in Waitaka, a horse who in his last 12 starts has finished out of the money only on one occasion. Recently he was second to High Glee in the Master Handicap with 8.7 and the second day won over a mile with 8.12., Cheval de Volee won attractively at the recent Pukekohe gathering and he must be given an excellent chance at the weights.
