Verdict

DIORESSENCE (8) has found it hard to win another race and has been mixing her form this season. She let down strongly when finishing runner-up at Riccarton just over 3 weeks ago. She is a big mare who needs lots of room in the running. With time to get out into the clear to make her run on this track, she should be among the hardest to beat. PEEKAY (9) has looked a lot better in his last couple of runs, both of those efforts producing fourths. He is fully fit now and can figure in the top 3. Stick with him. UNLEASH THE BEAST (1) made up a stack of late ground when finishing third at Riccarton in his penultimate start before struggling on a heavy track in a stronger field there a fortnight ago. He is worth another chance back at this level. Each way value. BELARDO ACE (3) did not get into the race over a mile here 3 weeks ago, and he will relish getting back out to a middle-distance. Include in all top 4 combos. LINED SATIN (11) is capable on her day, and she is worth another chance.
