Verdict

TELEOST (2) Brings good form into this following successive runner-up efforts including a powerful finish at Te Aroha. Top winning chance. AUTUMN BREEZE (3) Backs up quickly here after an improved effort at Wingatui. Stepped up in distance and hit the line strongly. FAST LIKE THUNDER (1) Showed brief tactical foot before encountering interference in the running during its most recent race-day start. Rates as a sharp improver with a clean transition here. PERCIVAL (4) Steady stayer who plugged away fairly to finish mid-field over a mile at his last outing. Bred to look for more distance and can spice up combinations. SU'PAR IRISH (15) battled on well enough last start over 6f, and the extra 2f is the key for his mare. She can bolster any top 4 combos.
