Verdict

J T BOE (12) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 2.75 metres over 1 ?m at Ascot Park Raceway. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. HACKSAW RIDGE (11) is in good form at present. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at Rangiora, beaten 4.5 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can grab that well-deserved win. COMMANDER BEN (5) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1 ?m at Oamaru a week ago. KISS THE GIRLS (10) is worth some thought based on his second over 1 ¹/16m at Ashburton Raceway two runs ago.
