Verdict

TACTICAL CHEVRON (3) made a solid impact on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing second and beaten a neck over 1 ?m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. MAVERICK HILL (2) ran fourth last start at Oamaru over 1 ?m, beaten 5.5 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. POPNROCK (7) disappointed last time when ninth over 1 ¹¹/16m at this track. Can atone. GARONNE (8) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 1 ?m at this track last time out.
