Verdict

ANDIAMO (5) ended her 3-start initial prep in G2 company at Te Rapa as a 3YO, and she showed enough when finishing runner-up on debut well over a year ago. She has obviously had some issues since then and looked over all that when winning a recent trial late last month. On top for us. KITTEN HEELS (8) ran on strongly fresh for fourth at Ellerslie just over 2 weeks ago. The extra 1f will suit her, and she won't be in this grade for much longer. HIP FLASK (1) had been to the fore at his trials prior to finishing a game runner-up here at the first time of asking 4 weeks ago. He is a rising 6YO gelding who should pick up a win at short notice. TROUBLE MAKER (14) had an excuse on debut and she has been treated for that issue since then. She cops a superior gate here, and she is expected to be a quick improver. Each-way value. THE DARZI (4) has been given plenty of trial experience prior to making his debut, and any market support will be worth following.
