Verdict

SUCCESZOR (2) got well back early and still a mile back on the bend but flashed home late out widest for 4L 4th to Foo Foo over 7f at Te Aroha on debut. Take beating here. BOSETTA (1) was very green when beaten 1L 4th to subsequent winner Saja at the trials then fought on well for 2.6L 3rd behind Lark and subsequent winner Russian Prime on debut over 7f. Learning all the time. OUTER BANKS (5) makes her debut here after working up to sit outside the leader with a gap to third and kept on gamely behind Nanesse in a recent trial. Respect here. WOODBEGOOD (8) got back and stayed there over 6f on debut but was much better up to 7f when running on late for a close 4th last time out at Waverley. Consider. HELLO ANGEL (9) only beaten 3L and 2L in her last two starts at 7f after getting well back in the run. Possible improver here.
