Verdict

PRESTIGIOUS (10) produced a better effort at his latest appearance, finishing second over 1 ?m at Omakau. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. ROCK LOBSTER (15) won at Rangiora two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at her latest appearance over 1 5/16m at Motukarara Raceway, beaten 6 metres. Faces a similar assignment. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. MANAKAU BLAZE (5) last appeared when ninth over 1 ?m at Rangiora 11 months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep. SIGNAL HILL (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Reefton over 1 ?/16m.
