Verdict

CARTER JOHN (1) got too far back from a wide gate when running on too late as the favourite at Trentham nearly 3 weeks ago, finishing seventh. He cops another wide gate, but will find this easier, and he can make amends. Follow your money. STEADFAST (9) won the most recent of his 3 public trials this season, and he is in the right stable to make a positive start to his career. Check the market. GOSSIP (10) led up, and after giving a good kick on the turn, she was run down late, finishing fifth as a short-priced favourite. She has a tough gate, but on her home track, she is worth another chance. PERLINO (14) ran on late when finishing seventh on debut at Te Aroha over 7f. She will relish getting out to a mile and will win a race at short notice. DARK AND DUSTY (2) flew home late to finish third fresh up at Trentham 12 days ago. He will relish the extra 1f and can have the last say this time.
