Verdict

KENSINGTON MIKE (5) resumes here after racing twice against stronger opposition at Addington last time in. Likely to have developed with maturity and could make a winning return in this suitable assignment. TWICE THE CHARM (2) draws closer to the pegs then when fifth at Rangiora at his first race start. Open to improvement so looks a winning chance. CEE WHATABET (3) was far from disgraced when midfield from a wide barrier at his latest appearance at Phar Lap Raceway. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw so gets his chance. HUGHES TWO ME (9) had little luck from a tough draw last time but recorded three successive placings prior so is worth another chance.
