Verdict

GOLDEN WINGS (7) bolted in when clearing his maiden status here earlier in the month, and then was fourth as a short-priced favourite at Pukekohe a week ago, when starting from a wide gate. He will be hoping for some better luck here from another wide gate here, and should be right in the finish. HARD ROCA (6) has motored home late in his last couple of starts here over 5 ½f, and the step up to 6 ½f should make all the difference. He has been looking for some firmer ground, and with conditions to suit, he is ready to win another race. RISE COMPANIONS (9) let down with a powerful finish to score fresh up at Te Aroha 18 days ago. He has a few tricks and is far from the finished product, but he is very talented and should progress through the grades this season. BELLARISTA (11) was beaten by a head fresh up, and then was runner-up again this time as the favourite last time out. She has Craig Grylls in the saddle this time, and can go one better. AWATERE (3) is worth including.
