Verdict

RULESQUE (4) has shown improvement in her first 2 starts this season and he is dropping down to country class third up. A good draw helps and he is capable of taking this out. G'DAY BLOKE (1) will probably start favourite after some solid form at Albany and from the pole position, he will be hard to hold out. HAVE A SESSION (6) needed his fresh-up run at Albany a fortnight ago and strips fitter second up. Each way value in a field that lacks depth. KIA ORA KOE (5) gave a good kick off the front at Albany 8 days ago and those front-running tactics are a bonus around this circuit. Stick with him. FLAMETREE LADY (8) was not too bad last start and is worth including in all combinations. SMOOTH CHINO (7) won a recent Albany trial and is not out of this on debut.
