Verdict

SACRED MIST (5) resumes from a spell and she would have been to the local unrecorded jump-outs in the area, and she ended her last season on a winning note at BM65 level. This is not much tougher, and she will be hard to beat. PROUDTOBEHERE (4) was not far away in a tougher field at Riccarton nearly 5 weeks ago, and she was a big winner in lesser company here before that. Stick with her. VAMOS (1) has been freshened up since a modest run at Oamaru nearly 7 weeks ago, and if he does not need the hit-out, then he can be competitive. SIGHT TO SEE (2) has won fresh up in the past, and from a handy gate, she should be ready to rumble. DIVINE SPIRIT (6) makes up the 6-horse field, but even she can't be totally overlooked.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Overlay

A horse going off at higher odds than his recent efforts show that he deserves.
