Verdict

TISSE (5) was a touch disappointing as a short-priced favourite here a month ago in the G3 QEII Cup over 1 ½m. He was in top form before that, and on a firmer surface, he can bounce straight back into the money. Follow your money. THE UNDERBELLY (6) made an encouraging debut from the Cody Cole stable when finishing third at Tauranga over 7 ½f. He will relish getting straight out to a middle distance, and he will be spot-on with his fitness now. Opie Bosson steps into the irons, and the pair merits healthy respect. KIWI SKYHAWK (11) needed racing, and made a welcome return to the winners' circle when bolting in by over 3 lengths at Tauranga last start. He has won here in the past, and he should be hard to hold out again, despite the rise in class. FINAL RETURN (4) battled on well enough in the QEII Cup last time out, and he was a G3 winner at Counties before that. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SASSY LASS (12) is better than her form suggests, so don't risk her. Each way.
