Verdict

Sydney-trained filly RIPPLES (10) makes another trip across the Tasman after adding to her super consistent form by coming from a wide draw to place in last week's NSW Oaks at Menangle. The last time she raced in NZ was three starts ago when she came from this row for a Cambridge win. Very reliable and if things go her way she could be hard to hold out. CATH (7) took advantage of the inside barrier to win last week's Northern Oaks. Draws wider but she is a capable filly who is building a strong record. SECRET WISH (1) had a horror draw and broke last start but looked highly promising in winning her other three starts this time in, beating Cath two back. Beautifully drawn this time and can win with manners. INDULGE ME (9) was solid from a tough barrier last week and placed in her other two outings of the campaign. Draws for a trail and could be dangerous if she gets the gaps.
