Verdict

NINTH WAVE ARDEN (9) looked good when he scored on debut over this distance at Rangiora three weeks ago. Draws on the back line but has upside and looks capable of taking this next step. PROSPERITY (5) produced a solid fourth from the back row when resuming then progressed to place last start at Omakau. Draws wider but should be close to peak fitness now so could strike. TREASURE COVE (1) is better than what he has been showing of late. Gets the inside draw so is worth another chance. ULTIMATE PERFECTION (2) draws much better than in his last start fifth at Ashburton and was a Cromwell winner prior.
