Verdict

TOWROPE (9) carried some market support at Wanganui last time out, nearly a month ago, and battled on fairly well to finish seventh. He has been to a jumping trial since then and will have no excuses with his fitness third up from a spell. Hard to beat in a modest field. KWANZA (2) finished second as favourite at Wanganui last start in the same race as the top pick. He looks perfectly placed in this third up, and with Jonathan Riddell in the saddle this time, he can go one better. SAYULOVEMEAGAIN (3) found the testing track in the same race as the top pick, too deep to handle last start. He has been in the money twice before that run, and can make amends in this. Stick with him on an each-way basis. JACKS PRIDE (12) had no luck at Otaki last time out and will be better off with a senior hoop in the irons this time. She has a good draw and is ready to put her best hoof forward here. SWEET ADA (10) ran on from last to finish third at Otaki last time out. Each way claims again.
