Neat Treat (race 3) will be driven by Peter Davis in the absence of her trainer Robbie Holmes who is in Cambridge with Kiwi Ingenuity and Biella Star for Harness Jewels races.
Neat Treat was driven by her owner Graham Pearson when she won the Sires' Stakes Consolation at Addington two starts back.
She finished sixth in the New Zealand Oaks in her subsequent start. Her other win was at Motukarara in December.
Holmes also has Jo El (race 5) engaged tonight.
Jo El was a useful fourth at Oamaru two starts back, then fifth at Addington.
Jo El is a rival for Southern Sun, the 3yr-old filly who has gained a win, four seconds, a third and a fifth in seven starts for Mossburn owner and trainer Amanda Davis.
Southern Sun was run down by Lord Forbes after pacemaking at Winton on Sunday.
The speedy but erratic trotter Rae Galleon will wear a nose flap and pull up blinds in race one tonight. Rae Galleon finished fast to dead-heat with Popz Delight at Forbury Park last Thursday, leaving stride on the finish line when she ran out.
Patchwork Star (race 7) will wear a murphy blind tonight. She ran third to Parasite and Maria Callas last Thursday.
