Verdict

LUCA (1) finished second at his last run just a couple of days ago over 1 ½m at this track, beaten 7 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. RIDGE (7) finished seventh last start over 1 ½m at this track, beaten 235 metres, after a good second at Rangiora the run prior. Meets a comparable field and she can turn in a much better performance. BIZZA TO'O (3) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1 ½m. Must be included. ONNAHILL (5) disappointed last time when sixth over 1 ½m at this track. Can do a lot better and is worth considering.
