NZ - Te Rapa - Race 8

SCOLERA (9) returns from a short break after showing good form last campaign, including a strong placing at Ellerslie fresh up. She looked in good condition when winning a recent trial late last month, and with some luck, she can finish all over the top of her rivals late here. ERIN GO BRAGH (7) resumed with a fair effort at Ellerslie as the favourite when peaking late to finish sixth. She should strip fitter for that outing, and she has enough ability to give this a shake. Follow your money. TESTWIN (5) has an excellent fresh record and resumes off a handy trial placing ahead of this assignment. He has been patiently handled, and he demands plenty of respect. SHE'S ALL THAT (4) was disappointing here last start after a smart Trentham win two runs earlier. She is worth another chance, and despite her wide gate, she can easily bounce back into the money. JETHRO TULL (3) resumes from a spell with 2 trials under his belt, and he can play a part in the finish, so don't risk him.
