Verdict

TYPHOON LUCY (4) was put away to mature some more after an impressive maiden win here in March coming off a freshen up. She has trialled up nicely twice in preparation for her return, and from a good gate, with Michael McNab in the saddle, she goes on top for us. SAVINA (3) just battled in the NZ Oaks before having a spell, and before that she was a handy maiden winner over 1 5/16m. She has plenty of scope to improve, and could snare a race like this fresh up, so watch her closely. THE TRENDSETTER (2) made her mark over ground last season, and she will be even better this prep. She is capable of sprinting well fresh up, so keep her safe in all combos. SEE YOU IN BEIJING (1) was a good third fresh up, and then just battled on a testing heavy track at Hawera last time out as the favourite. He has been given time to get over that effort, so follow your money, and stick with him. NIAGARA SKY (6) has raced her way back into some good form, and is worth including again.
