Verdict

A very even running of the Hamilton Cup is run over 1 ?m. GRAND PIERRO (2) finished not far away in sixth when contesting the Ansett Classic at Mornington 2 weeks ago, and that form will stack up nicely in this field. He has won twice over the trip, and gets a big chance to bounce back into some worthwhile form in this. TIKEMYSON (15) had to cover too much ground in the Coleraine Cup over 1 ?m last start, and did well to finish where he did in eighth place. He will relish getting back out to 1 ?m, and can make amends. SHULTZY (11) ran on resolutely from well back in the Ansett Classic when finishing fifth, and he could settle a tad closer from the pole position this time. Stick with him on an each-way basis. THEDOCTOROFLOVE (4) is capable of a big form reversal. Include.
