Verdict

GIACOMO (8) did not kick on as well as expected after setting the pace at Te Aroha last time out. That was his first run over ground this prep, and he may have needed it. Stick with him, and he could take some pegging back this time. KIWI SKYHAWK (11) has been building up his fitness and ran on late for third here 2 weeks ago. He has 5.5kg less to carry this time, and can figure in the top 3 again. Each way. DARK DESTROYER (5) got too far back on a slow tempo at Whanganui last week and ran on too late. There will be no more fitness concerns fourth up from a spell, and a form reversal is on the cards. Can win. CHARLBURY (12) missed the kick badly here a fortnight ago and was never a chance. Her fifth at Tauranga before that is the guide to use, and she is worth another chance. CANHEROC (3) went huge when finishing third in the NZ Cup at Riccarton 3 weeks ago. He is always running on, and can figure in the top 4 here as well.
