Verdict

HONOR MISSION (9) put in a fairly decent effort for sixth over a mile when making her debut at New Plymouth 3 weeks ago. Her astute stable puts her immediately over 1 ?m, and we think that will be the winning of the race. This field is not strong, and she goes on top. SHOW DIAMONDS (10) is a stablemate of the top pick who will also be stepping straight up to 1 ?m from a mile. She is peaking at the right time and will be ready to show some good form now. Each way. OUR SHOCKS (1) is a lightly tried and locally trained 7-year-old gelding. He was runner-up at Tauranga 11 days in his first run over a middle-distance, and he is nicely poised to go one better here. KHANDO (5) has turned a corner in her last 3 starts. She benefits from a 7lbs claim and should figure in the finish again. Each way. MAGEE (4) may never win a race, and may try to lead this field with the aid of a 9lbs claim. He gets one more chance from us. Include in all combinations.
