Verdict

REVERBERATIONS (3) has been freshened up since finishing at the rear of the field at Riccarton nearly 8 weeks ago, and he is usually better when the ground is not so testing. That being said, he is still one of the main chances in this easier assignment, especially with a senior hoop on board. Watch the market moves. MOVE ON (5) was a beaten odds-on favourite at Wingatui at the beginning of June and has been off the scene since then. She is nicely placed after a 4lbs claim, and can bounce straight back into the money here. GIANNIS (7) may have been a run short when failing to fire as expected at Riccarton on the poly track there last time out. He has less time between starts here and is worth another chance. Each way. GO LOTTE (1) was runner-up in her last run prior to having a freshen up that would have done her the world of good. She is down in class, and if ready, she can give this a shake. BALZANO (2) is hard to catch, but if his mind is on the job, he can take this out.
