Verdict

TROUBLESHOOTER (4) turned in a good effort last start when fifth in a stronger race at Ashburton and was a winner at that same circuit last month. Placed the only time she raced here. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. LOGAN ROCK (9) produced a better effort last start when he came from a similar barrier and scored over 1 7/16m at Mt Harding. Going well enough to play a major role. SAMVASA (7) has produced some decent efforts of late including a placing three back at Rangiora. Can play a role. Last-start winner THE MANDALORIAN (1) should get every chance from a favourable draw.
