Verdict

RAMBLIN ROVER (4) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1 ?m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten half a metre. His recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. HE'S TOUGH (11) finished seventh at Oamaru two runs ago before a comparable effort at his latest appearance over 1 ¹/16m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 7 metres. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running a much better race. DURRANT (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1 ?m at Ascot Park Raceway last time out. Each-way claims. BAUTISTA (8) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1 ¼m at Oamaru on February 1.
