Verdict

CHINO'S BOY (4) still has a lot to learn after a big run for second on debut at Wingatui, when he did a few things wrong, before and during the race. He will naturally improve second up, and his stable has a lot of success on this circuit. On top for us. MY SHARONA (9) was left with too much to do at Riccarton last time out, and will get a nice jockey change this time with Tina Comignaghi taking over the reins. She also has a superior gate and is ready to run into the top 3 here. BEAUJOLAIS (6) boxed on steadily for seventh at Ascot Park 5 days ago, and will have the winkers on for the first time here. Include in all combinations. WOODLANDS (2) has been freshened up since finishing runner-up at Ashburton nearly 6 weeks ago.
