Verdict

SOLID GOLD (6) showed promise in two runs last prep, finishing in the placings at Ellerslie before heading for a spell that would have done her the world of good. She has since trialled strongly at the same venue and appears to be ready to rumble fresh. She won't be in this grade for long. KING JAKKAL (1) has attracted market support in each of his 2 recent outings, most recently finishing a close fifth over 7f at Otaki nearly 3 weeks ago. He has needed time to mature, and he may have found the right field here. Stick with him. SCARLETT SPELL (5) was disappointing over 1m at Ellerslie last time out but had been narrowly beaten at the same track prior. Dropping back to a shorter trip will suit her, and from a superior gate, she can bounce straight back into the money. TSUNAMI SUE (7) made an encouraging debut when finishing strongly for third over 5 ½f at New Plymouth. With natural improvement, she should be included in all top 4 combos. TSUNAMI SUE (7) is a big each-way chance.
