Verdict

BRUTAL RIFF (1) was brave in defeat when finishing less than a length from the winner as the favourite fresh up nearly 2 weeks ago on the Riccarton poly track when trying to make all the running. Dropping back from 7f to 6f is the key here, and from a good gate, he can take them all the way. ARCTIC JEWEL (4) made progress last season as a 3YO, and she resumes with a couple of trials under her belt. She will be stronger, and ready to rumble fresh up. INTERLAKEN (3) fought on gamely fresh up in his first run since being bought out of the North Island. He has the potential to work his way through the grades this season, and with luck from a wide gate, he can figure in the top 3 this time. DINK (8) made a winning North Island debut at Wingatui nearly 3 weeks ago, and she is expected to measure up nicely in this grade as well, especially with the advantage of the pole position here. LAST HELLO (10) ran a much better race when third here last time out. Stick with her.
