Verdict

A few of these met in a similar contest here two weeks ago. That race was taken out by BLENHEIM GIRL (4) who started favourite and showed a superior turn of foot over the final stages. No claim today so she goes up sharply in the weights but her dominance was plain to see. Great chance to go back-to-back. HALLOWED HALLS (1) raced handy and had his chance in the straight but was no match for Blenheim Girl late last start. Enjoys a 4kgs weight swing today for a 1.5 length defeat so he can make it interesting. ZONKSTAR (3) split this pair here a fortnight ago and was doing his best work late. The veteran of only four starts so he has the greater upside. Can definitely go one better. LUGARNO (5) raced on the pace but was disappointing late in the Blenheim Girl race. Handy when right and at the weights cannot be ruled out. SONIC BENDER (8) will whack away one-paced and can feature in the top four.
