Verdict

DJIBOUTI (9) backed up solid placed form when loomed on the turn from midfield and got home best at Te Aroha over 1 ?m last time. Will take beating over 1 ?m here. SHAMWARI (1) ran on nicely from beyond midfield when fresh then worked outside the leader and faded, both on the synthetic. Up to 1 ?m and back on turf for a bold all the way win at New Plymouth last month. Danger here. CHOREOMANIA (7) brave win from outside the leader over 1 5/16m at Tauranga then fought on well after trailing the leader when 1L 3rd to Eliud in a driving finish at Te Rapa. Respect here. VICTOR TANGO (2) good efforts going up in trip each start this prep with a good late run for 2L 4th over 7f and same again over 1m last time. Big jump to 1 ?m here but looks like he'll get it. PURE BARS (5) led and fought back strongly for 1L 3rd to Sweet But Psycho over 1 5/16m last start. Place claims best here.
