Verdict

REAL VELOCITY (6) finished sixth last start over 1 ³/16m at Rangiora, beaten 7 metres, after a good win at Mt Harding the run prior. Leading hope if anywhere near her best. ASK ME LAZARUS (2) finished tenth at Oamaru two runs ago before finishing seventh at her latest appearance over 1 7/16m at Mt Harding, beaten 14 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she has the ability to mix it with them. FESTUS HAGGEN (11) is better than his last-start run for tenth over 1 ½m at Mt Harding would suggest. Worth another chance. AZZYS UPSTART (13) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
