Verdict

QALI AL FARRASHA (1) won the G2 Breeders' Stakes at Pukekohe 3 weeks ago, where the only surprise was the price she paid. She is even better stepping up to a mile, and with Opie Bosson back in the irons, she can repeat the dose, just don't expect another fancy price. HINEKAHA (5) has won her last 2 starts by a neck at BM75 level, but won't be overawed by stepping up to Group company. She is nicely drawn, and the hat-trick beckons. JAARFFI (2) ran on from well back when finishing just over 2 lengths behind the top pick last time out. That run will have her ready to step up to a mile here, and she can figure in the top 4 again here. QUEEN ZOU (6) capped off some improving form to score a well-deserved nose win at Pukekohe 3 weeks ago. This is her toughest test to date, but she is up to the challenge. Include in all combinations. ELECTRON (3) lifted strongly to score by a nose at Otaki nearly 2 weeks ago. She races on the pace, and is not without a top 4 chance here as well.
