Verdict

PERFORMER (1) won a couple of trials prior to finishing runner-up in each of his starts to date, including a half length defeat here 7 weeks ago in a tougher field than this. He maps to do no work early on from the pole position, and he is set to go one better. ONE BOLD FLOOZIE (8) made progress and showed promise in her initial prep before having a spell. She is bred to improve with time, and 7f fresh up is the ideal starting point for her. Hard to beat. FACILITATE (2) was runner-up as the favourite here 3 weeks ago over 6f, and his first win is not far away. Follow your money. UNBOUNDED (7) was good enough to be placed in the Oaks Prelude at New Plymouth while still a maiden, and though things did not go her way after that, she will still be hard to beat fresh up. Check the market. MARGE (9) was close up when resuming at Hawera, and she has top 4 claims again.
