Verdict

AR GEE RULZ (4) has been a big improver at his last two outings and put the writing on the wall last week when second at Phar Lap Raceway. Starts one spot closer to the pegs. Can take this out. HEAVEN (1) hasn't fired since an easy win three back but should get the favours from this draw so could produce his best again here. EMMA SWAN (9) was solid when she came from the second line for fourth last start at Rangiora. Draws wide but her lone career win came at this circuit. WOODLEA DIAMOND (6) was a winner last month at Phar Lap Raceway and could be close to another success after a solid showing for fourth at her most recent appearance.
