Verdict

IDENTIKIT (3) made the most of a clever ride at Whanganui last time out and was too strong for BM65 company, scoring by a wide margin. She has 1.5kg less to carry and should cope with the class rise. On top again. PICK OF THE LITTER (4) needed her fresh-up run at Arawa Park but was not too far from the winner that day. She has a couple of trials before that effort and should be improving her fitness. She is straight up to a middle distance and can figure in the top 3. GALLANT HERO (1) is a very honest gelding at this level on wet tracks, and he fought on gamely for second at Tauranga 3 weeks ago. He has a good draw and has each-way claims again. PIPER'S SON (5) kept on kicking bravely when lifting late to score by a nose at Otaki just over 3 weeks ago. He normally holds his form when fit and is nicely weighted here after a claim. Stick with him. TEXTBOOK (6) has been building his fitness with 3 runs back from a spell and will relish getting out to a middle distance here. Each way.
