Verdict

REGAL SIERRA (7) had been building to a win and it arrived last start when she scored by 2.75 metres over 1 ½m at this track. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. TU TANGATA (6) finished seventh last start over 1 ½m at this track, beaten 12 metres, after a modest sixth at Richmond Park the run prior. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. NELLIE DOYLE (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1 ½m. Must be included. MM SUNSHINE (4) is tough to leave out on the back of two successive wins, most recently at this track a couple of days ago.
