Verdict

CHEERFUL SMILE (1) was a beaten favourite here just over 4 weeks ago on a very testing heavy track. She should strike a firmer surface here, and from the pole position, she can settle a touch closer to the pace than she has been recently. Follow your money. On top for us. ANOTHER FLOOZIE (5) was out of the money fresh up in a stronger field at Ellerslie but was not far off the winner that day. The blinkers go on, and the extra furlong is ideal. Stick with her for all multiples. DRAGON BLOSSOM (2) was third in 2 of her 3 starts last prep, and is resuming from a spell that would have done her the world of good. She benefits from a 7lbs claim and is not out of this. WEE NESSY (13) strips fitter second up. Don't risk her.
