Verdict

FAST IMPACT (1) seemed to really struggle in the bad ground at Oamaru last start, and we put that effort down to the second-up theory. She was well in the market that day, and she is worth another chance. On top. VALSTAR (2) fought on gamely for third when producing his best effort to date at Oamaru. He would not have to improve by much to be the winner here. LOOSE KNICKERS (3) will find this easier than his last start at Riccarton 9 days ago, and we think he can figure in the top 3 this time. SHE'S A FILLY (6) resumes from a spell that would have done her the world of good, and she can't be taken lightly. DANIELLISH (7) still has some strengthening up to do, but a win here is well within her reach.
