Verdict

B J HUNNICUTT (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in fourth over 1 ¼m at Rangiora afetr getting held-up in the run home. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. TYPHOON TERE (6) has not raced for more than four years. Looks forward enough for this return after winning a recent five runner trial. Will have plenty of admirers. UNICO TESSA (12) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1m at Richmond Park. JOHNNY ARMA (3) is a four-year-old gelding by Sky Major from Cindi Arma on debut. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Will be right there at the business end.
