Verdict

DROMMY (1) looked to be above-average when powering to a dominant maiden victory over 7f at Te Aroha last start, putting 3 lengths on his rivals. He has plenty of upside, and he looks capable of taking the next step immediately. PERFORMER (5) caught the eye on debut with a strong runner-up effort at Arawa Park, finishing less than a length from the winner. With the natural improvement that is expected from that experience, he shapes as the biggest threat to the top pick. GO TRIGGER (2) broke through in impressive fashion at Waverley with a convincing maiden success over 7f. This is a tougher assignment, but he should only get better with more time, so he is not to be underestimated. CAME TRUE (3) had been runner-up before finishing third at Waverley last start. While he steps up in class here, he will map to receive the run of the race, and another honest effort can be expected. MEISAI (8) was a comfortable maiden winner on the Cambridge poly track nearly 2 weeks ago. Include.
