Verdict

TIKI (4) has been racing very well and deserved her win last start, scoring by 2 metres over 1 ¼m at this track. Meets a comparable field so she can certainly make it two on the bounce. RUBBLE ON THE DOUBLE (2) finished second last start over 1 ?/16m at this track, beaten 4.5 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1 ¼m at this track. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. ORDAINED (3) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1 ?/16m at this track. SCOOTS (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1 ?/16m at this track last time out.
