Verdict

COSENTINO (10) has been rushing through the grades on the Awapuni poly track, leading all the way to score there last time out nearly 4 weeks ago. He is ready now for a return to a turf surface, and with Bruno Queiroz riding so well, he can complete the hat-trick. FARRAVALLO (7) has plenty of pace and should be able to lead this field. Michael McNab picks up the ride, and from a handy draw, he can take them all the way. CAITLYNS WISH (5) has won 2 of her 3 starts on this track and is at her best over this trip. She can secure a cosy run from a handy gate, and should be right in the thick of things again. MARY SHAN (9) is a talented mare resuming from a spell. She will be ready to rumble after winning the latest of 2 tune-up trials, and she would not be a shock winner. TURN THE ACE (1) resumes from a spell for a new trainer. He won the most recent of his 3 Foxton trials, and he has won twice fresh up in the past. Don't risk him.
