Verdict

DEALT WITH (2) pushed forward and was a very good winner by 1.3 lengths over 5 ¾f at Te Aroha on debut two weeks ago. It was indeed an easy win overall. Better drawn this time in. Can repeat for certain in this. FIRST DANCE (7) has not gone a bad race yet. Well drawn. Top two must here without question. HARD ROCA (3) this is the easiest field here since her Maiden win three starts ago. Trifecta and first four chance for sure. ORTEGA (10) is an improver on her fresh up run. Won her Maiden here second up. Must include. COGNOSCENTI (1) won well to clear Maidens at his last start. Ace draw here. He can certainly measure up in this.
