Verdict

DOROTHEA (13) will be nearing her peak fitness third up from a spell, and she was brave in defeat on the poly track here last time out when tried in front, kicking clear turning for home, before being claimed late over 1m. She drops back 1f, and with the aid of a 7lbs claim, she could see it through to the end this time. VENDABELLE (7) has been racing consistently since relocating to the South Island, and she resumes from a spell that would have done her the world of good. A recent trial will ensure that she is ready to rumble fresh up. LA VOISIN (10) blasted to the lead on the poly track here last time out, and booted clear to score comfortably by over a length. She will be very competitive again. FINAL TIME (15) was not far away in stakes company here 2 weeks ago, and she is ready to put her best hoof forward third up from a spell. Each way value. PISTACHIO (11) failed to fire when making her South Island debut here on the poly track just over 2 weeks ago. Stick with her.
