Verdict

ENA SHARPLES (6) resumed with a big finishing run for second at Woodville 5 weeks ago, and with that space between races, she will be suited to remaining at 7f. With the right run, she can have the last say in this. SIGHT UNSEEN (7) ended her last prep as a beaten favourite on her home track at Waverley. She resumes as a much stronger mare, and with the aid of a good gate, she will be ready to rumble. Each-way. GAME FACE (8) ran the race of an improver when finishing fourth at Arawa Park just over 3 weeks ago, and she will be peaking at the right time for this. A heavy track suits her, and she can figure in the top 3 this time. ROYAL TEASER (3) stuck on gamely when finishing fourth on debut at Otaki 2 weeks ago over 6f. The extra 1f is ideal, and his first win should not be far away. RECONVENE (1) has raced his way into form, and even from a tricky gate, he is worth including in all combos.
