Verdict

CROIX DE GUERRE (8) has always promised a lot, and he is starting to live up to his potential this season after posting back to back wins on the Awapuni synthetic track. He will be fit enough now to cope with the step up from 1 ¹/16m to 1 5/16m, and the hat-trick beckons. ARKSEY (7) is closing on on another win with 3 second-place finishes in a row, and if the track comes up as heavy, he will be very hard to beat. A firmer surface will also not be too much of a problem for him either. CONEY ISLAND (4) is another consistent gelding who has held his form on wet tracks through the winter. He has a good draw, and is worth including in all top 4 combos again. SUBTLE IMAGE (1) carried his top recent poly track form through to the turf when finishing runner-up at Whanganui a fortnight ago. He has thrived since joining the Didham yard, and he can produce yet another honest effort here. THE FINNSTER (5) led all the way at Whanganui last start, and he will be trying to do the same here. Keep safe.
