Verdict

SIR YOU CAN DANCE (3) won a trial prior to finishing third as the favourite on debut at Te Aroha nearly 4 weeks ago over 5 ¾f. He cops a tough gate, but has plenty of scope, and the extra 1 ¼f will make all the difference here. On top for us. BAK DE ACE (2) was put aside after finishing third as an odds-on favourite at Waverley on debut in February last year. He has trialled twice in the lead-up to his return, and if his stable starts him from a wide gate, then he will be hard to hold out. Watch for him late. VOLUNTEER (4) made up a lot of late ground to run into fourth here fresh up 3 weeks ago. He cops another wide gate, but Craig Grylls sticks with him, and so do we. I'LL BE HOME SOON (6) showed pace before fading on debut at Te Aroha just over 5 weeks ago when making his debut. He will naturally improve with the experience, and may take some pegging back in this. CAPTAIN STAN (1) will be peaking third up, and is worth including in all top 4 combos to be safe.
