Verdict

HALEY JACCKA (10) has been very consistent of late. Scored at her latest appearance over 1 ¹¹/16m at Ascot Park Raceway, getting home by 1.4 metres. Meeting a deeper field this time, but she is good enough to score again. CAPTAIN COOL (2) recent form has been very consistent. Scored at his latest appearance over 1 ³/16m at Addington, getting home by a neck. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar lineup, and he can take this out. SPIRIT DOWNUNDER (5) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1 ?m at Rangiora. Should run a big race. SEMBA (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at his first run back over 1 ½m at Central Southland Raceway. Each way value.
