Verdict

DEE VEE PEE (5) may have found the jump from 1m to 1 ½m a touch to far at Te Rapa last start, and we are prepared to overlook that effort. He cops another wide gate here, but this time of the day it could be a blessing in disguise if the track is heavy. Stick with him at some each-way value. THE FINNSTER (4) is a tough gelding who likes to make his own luck in front, and with a strong record on this circuit, he could take some pegging back. INDIAN GOLD (3) ran on late at New Plymouth last start when finishing third, and a similar effort to that would take him close to winning this. Each way claims again. DUPUG (11) has yet to fire in 2 starts this prep, but he will now get out over a more suitable trip for his peak run. Expect something better this time. Keep him very safe. CRAFTSMAN (8) has held his form since winning second up in BM60 grade at Woodville in June. Include in all top 4 combos.
