Verdict

ROC ALL NIGHT (2) is a very promising gelding who showed real grit when breaking through fresh up at this track over 6f, and the lightly raced runner has more to come. He drops 3lbs less to carry, and he can take the next step immediately. CIRCUS DANCER (4) dropped in grade and bounced back to winning form with a determined win at Arawa Park over 7f 3 weeks ago. Her confidence is high now, and she can repeat the dose. CREMANT (6) has been racing in good form, following up an Otaki win fresh up with a solid third placing as the favourite there last time out. She likes it wet, and she is likely to settle handy to the pace. Each way. THE DIRTY DEE (10) resumed with a strong second over 6 ¾f here nearly 3 weeks ago, and he will take plenty of benefit from that first-up effort. She has the pole position and can go one better. SO WE GO (3) has been thereabouts in a couple of runs since winning her maiden easily 3 weeks ago at Whanganui. Stick with her for all top 4 combos.
