Verdict

WHATTHEMANSAW (7) Form sound last prep especially when up to 2000m. Just missed at 1400m the start before back to back wins. Nice trial winner last month. Can give this a shake. TIANTAI (11) back from a spell when she charged home to score over 1300m at Te Rapa as favourite. Placed 2nd-up and both start this trip. THORAX (10) has peaked on his run in both starts this prep at 1200m and 1400m. Gets chance to atone from the gun draw this time. HAKUSHU (3) charged home from the rear to score at Ellerslie last start in May. Placed only start this course and trip and two quiet trials have him ready. SWEETAZME (6) good efforts in both start this prep when finding the line well from midfield or a touch closer. Drawn to figure here.
