Verdict

SOLIDIFY (6) capped a long run of placed form with a bold win at Ellerslie recently when he tracked the leaders and put them away well at this trip. Won his only start this track and trip and loves a soft track. Take beating in this mood. SUNSET BOULEVARD (3) wasn't far away 1st up at Riccarton then did nothing at Hawera in a head-scratcher. Bounced back with a strong run from midfield to win the Waverley Cup last time. Has won here and must respect this stable. TRAV (8) got a long way back but ran on well in the Waverley Cup last start over 1 ?m. Might be looking for further but still a good show with 120lbs. DUBAI'S POTIKI (11) ran on well for 2nd in the G3 Metric Mile at Tentham before making up a lot of ground from a mile back at Hastings. Placed 4 of 7 at this trip. Can add some value. CHEVAL DE FOUDRE (17) made ground from midfield when fresh 2 back then was caught very wide beyond midfield and plugged on OK considering last time. Include.
