Verdict

FRANCO ELVIS (5) finished second last start over 1 ¼m at Rangiora, beaten 1.4 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1 ½m at this track. Meets a comparable field and he can give this a mighty shake. ARTFUL BROMAC (3) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1 ³/16m at Addington, beaten 6 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ZOOM X (1) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1 ³/16m at Addington nine days ago. BROOKIES PLAYER (6) is the best of the rest after finishing third when resuming over 1 ¼m at Rangiora last time out.
