Verdict

ONE EYE BANDIT (16) produced a better effort last start, finishing second over 1 ³/16m at Rangiora. Primary contender in a similar assignment. HEY TONIGHT (3) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 23 metres into ninth at Mt Harding over 1 7/16m. Finds a tougher race but from a far better starting position a big run is on the cards. COURAGE REACTOR (14) disappointed last time when ninth over 1 ³/16m at Rangiora. Can atone. ARCHIE (12) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
