Verdict

RICHARD FARRELL (1) has been entered in race 1 as well, and wherever he starts, he will take a lot of beating. SUBTLE TIME (2) went close to breaking his maiden at his last start at Whanganui when finishing a close-up third, before being put aside for a well-deserved spell. He is resuming over 1 ¹/16m which suggests he has done plenty of work at home, so don't risk him, especially if the money comes for him. STEADFAST (5) has not raced up to his trial form in 2 starts to date, and he will be resuming from a spell that would have done him the world of good. He won his latest trial very easily under his own steam, and the Myers stable will have him ready to rumble. ACORN (7) was placed for the first time in her career here in her penultimate start before battling into fifth last time out. She can make amends. Include. OUR MITCH (3) has been steadily improving with racing, and he is not the worst in this at odds. GALEFORCE (8) whacked away for third here 2 weeks ago, so stick with him.
