Verdict

HARD ROCA (1) has found it hard to win another race, and was only half a length from the winner when finishing runner-up at Ellerslie 17 days ago. He has a good gate and will be the one to beat in an even field. KIA KAHA (6) has mixed his form this prep, and was only beaten by a nose at Arawa Park last time out. She can secure the run of the race from the pole position and is set to go one better here. GREENWICH (2) had a tough trip from a wide gate at Te Aroha 3 weeks ago, and failed to finish his run off. He gets a nice swing in his draw this time and is expected to bounce straight back into the money. Include in all combinations. MASSIVE PRINCE (3) will find this easier than his last run in BM75 grade at Trentham just over 3 weeks ago. His form prior was strong, and he won't be far away in this. Include.
