Verdict

MIKI MIRAGE (6) hit her peak third-up last start when she came from a wider barrier and scored over 1 ?m at Cambridge. Must raise the bar but she has some upside. ASK ME LAZARUS (1) drew on the back row when midfield last start at Oamaru after a third at Oamaru prior. Has the benefit of the ace draw and is suited returning to a circuit and distance where she has won two of three attempts. There was merit in the latest effort of SWEET WILLOW (8) at Addington and he should find this easier. CALL SECURITY (4) has been solid of late so is worth some thought.
