Verdict

TWAIN (1) was a gutsy runner-up 2 weeks ago in the Counties Bowl on this track, after running on strongly from well back in the field. The Step up from 1100m to 1200m is the key, and with some cut in the ground likely, he can go one better. TARDELLI (3) settled back too far in the running at Ellerslie just over a month ago, and ran on too late for his seventh-place finish. He has a senior hoop back in the saddle this time, and from a superior gate, he can be ridden more positively early on. He is expected to bounce straight back into the money here. MASTER FAY (4) resumed with an impressive win at Ellerslie 6 weeks ago and has been back to the trials since then. He only carries half a kilo more, and can repeat the dose. MIDNIGHT EDITION (5) has been in the money 3 times in a row since winning fresh up at Te Rapa. His only win in a clockwise direction was on this track, and another honest effort is on the cards. IMPREVU (6) is a consistent mare who has not won for some time. Include.
