Verdict

RUN BLAZE RUN (4) turned in another strong performance last start when he drew wider and battled on bravely for second at Hawera. That made it two runner-up results on the trot so his hoof is on the till. RHAEGAL (2) has been solid in two outings since finishing runner-up here. That took his record at this circuit and distance to four placings from five attempts. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw. Strong winning hope. EL DRAEGO (7) has joined the House stable since last seen at Gore six-and-a-half weeks ago and that is a recipe for success at this venue. WHITEBAIT BOY (3) has been close to the placegetters at his last couple and draws to be competitive again.
