Verdict

DOMAIN ACE (1) numerical form looks terrible but he has ability. Won a Listed Race as a 2yo and ran 3rd in the G1 2000 Guineas over 1m behind Savaglee at 3. Freshened before sitting 3 wide over 5f last start at Trentham. Gets his change to return to winners list here. SWEET DISPOSITION (5) charged home from the rear when a close 2nd over 7f on debut in March. No luck in other start when bumped a few times in the straight. Quiet trial doing her best work late October 22. Respect here. LA CADIERE (4) was only fair when 1st-up at Hawera over 6f on a heavy track but better when beaten 2L 4th over 7f at Tauranga on Soft last time. Her win came 3rd-up. Improver. MISTA STITCH (2) got back and made some ground but didn't finish off when 1st-up over 5 ¾f at Te Aroha. His win came at this trip on this track, albeit the track was heavy that day.
