Verdict

INDIE ARDIE (7) gets her chance to break through in a modest field third up from a spell. She has been waiting for a middle distance, and is the one to beat. THE BOSS GIRLS (8) tried hard again when finishing third in a better field at Riccarton just over 2 weeks ago. She is getting stronger all the time and will eventually win some races. Each-way claims again. SHOCKUS (5) has improved since being stepped up over a middle distance, and he ran his best race yet when finishing runner-up at Timaru 9 days ago. He won't have to improve by much to go one better here. GASGAL (6) has turned a corner this spring and will try a trip past a mile for the first time. She is in a good space, and if she can see out the trip, then she can take this out. GRANE (9) gets the blinkers on third up from a spell, and she is now ready to show some worthwhile form. Include in all combinations.
