Verdict

AYTEEM (2) was a beaten favourite at Whanganui in his penultimate start before failing to back up a week later there, and finishing seventh, as the favourite again. He is perfectly placed with more time between starts and is good enough to take this out. LEGACY (6) won his maiden over a mile at Tauherenikau by a nose, and then ran on too late over 1 ¼m at Whanganui nearly 4 weeks ago. The extra ¾f is ideal, and she can figure in the top 4 here. THRILLING (9) was an overdue maiden winner at Waipukurau and then motored home late over a mile at Trentham nearly 3 weeks ago when finishing fifth. She steps up to a middle distance for the first time this season, and she will be hard to hold out. SMILING EYES (8) battled away strongly when finishing sixth at Pukekohe nearly 3 weeks ago. She will be spot on with her fitness and is well worth including in all combinations. WALKINTHEPARK (10) was back in form when finishing a game second at Tauherenikau just over a fortnight ago. Each way.
