Verdict

CAPULET (2) was a beaten favourite on debut when failing to cop a heavy track at Matamata in June. Watch for a better effort on a firmer surface here. Follow the money leads. FLYHALF (6) was only caught late when finishing second by a nose at Arawa Park just over 3 weeks ago. She has a tougher gate this time, but can still figure in the top 3. SPARK (4) finished runner-up at Trentham when resuming there 2 weeks ago over 5f. She has plenty of ability and should be contesting some richer age-grade races later in the season. Hard to beat here. TULSA TURNAROUND (13) makes her debut from the coveted pole position. If she is not too green, then she can figure in the top 3. Check the market moves. CHEKHOV (3) makes his debut from a handy gate, and his stable is in a rich vein of form. Watch for him late.
