Verdict

SHEEZ DOMINANT (3) won her penultimate start here before tackling the Whanganui Cup nearly 5 weeks ago, where she was beaten but far from disgraced. She is better placed in this grade and can make an immediate return to the winner's circle here. SEMPER MAGICO (1) was an upset winner at Otaki a fortnight ago, and will only carry an extra 4lbs while staying in the same class here. This is his pet trip, and there is no reason why he can't repeat the dose. HIGHLY LETHAL (6) has raced his way back into form and followed up his all-the-way win here in his penultimate start, with a bold effort for second at Otaki 2 weeks ago. Stick with him. Each way. PICCOLINO (5) has been mixing her form, but if she can repeat her performance when winning 2 starts back, then she will be right in this. Don't risk her.
