Verdict

PACIFIC PRINCESS (7) put in a good late run from midfield when fresh here two back then was a touch closer and got the job done here last time. Respect again. TULSA KING (8) put in fair efforts over shorter trips before looming turn and charging home for 3rd over 1 5/16m here last time. Stick with him. STELLA SUCCESS (5) tried hard in a similar race here last month when got back early from the inside barrier. Solid chance again here. IDENTIKIT (3) fair efforts of late when not a mile away in similar races. Has a win at this distance. Keep safe. BILLY BLINX (10) stayed handy to the pace and tried hard behind dead-heat winners last start at Te Rapa. Can add some value here.
