Verdict

AYTEEM (1) cops a wide gate, but he is still likely to push forward early on, especially with the aid of a 7lbs claim. He has a terrific record here on his home track, and if he can find the top without using up too much energy, then she should still be there at the finish. The hat-trick beckons. DUBAI'S POTIKI (7) has been kept busy over the winter, and he has been holding her form strongly, including a last start second here 3 weeks ago at BM75 level. She drops 10lbs after a claim, and he has to be respected again. JAEGER (8) is a locally trained gelding who won comfortably fresh up at Taupo nearly 3 weeks ago, and that run will have him spot on for his home track assignment. Stick with him. VITTORIO VENETO (5) has good form on this track, and is worth including in all combos. MY FERRARI (11) has really hit his straps recently, and he can measure up here as well.
