Verdict

LOGAN ROCK (6) finished on strongly for fifth last start, beaten 15 metres at Rangiora over 1 ¼m. This is a nice drop in class, and he can settle a lot closer this time. Each way. SOFIA ROSE (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 7 metres at Addington over 1 ³/16m. She cops the same gate, and she has ability, so she should be right in the finish again. BRONSKI (8) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1 ?m at Rangiora a week ago. With some luck from the draw, he can figure in the top 4. OKIWI BAY (3) has drawn to advantage and with a recent solid trial under his belt, he should give backers a great sight.
