Verdict

DREAM OF THE MOON (8) made good progress as a 3-year-old and won at Stakes level in her penultimate start at Riccarton in April. She cops a wide gate for her return over a trip that will be well short of her best, but she is fit with 3 trials under her belt, and will be steaming home late. Each way. TRISTAR (5) is another very promising mare who won 2 of her 3 starts last prep, leading into winter. She has had a couple of quiet tune-up trials and will be ready to rumble fresh up. Check the market moves. ERIN GO BRAGH (9) was not ridden out last start due to his jockey's concerns over his action. He was runner-up when resuming, and is worth another chance in this. Each way. BEAST OF BURDEN (6) was not suited to a heavy track at Riccarton in the Listed Stewards Stakes 4 weeks ago and will only need some luck from a wide draw to be a top 4 chance in this. COOPER (4) won as expected fresh up at Whanganui, and his stable seldom treks North unless they think they can win. Stick with him.
