Verdict

OUR KIWI GIRL (8) not too bad in each run this time in so far. She is distance proven. The mare has won third up too. One to beat in this for sure. STRONG (1) both his wins have come at the 1 ?m. Wide draw but he can still cope in this. Top tier must no matter the footing. DECLARE (9) won her Maiden at 1 ?m. Has been twice course placed. Include everywhere you can. TAP DANCER (14) she has been racing well in her last two starts. Wet tracker in the main. The mare can claim down to 115lbs in this. FLOAT (11) ran well two and three starts ago. Wide gate. Winning rider atop. Can handle dry and wet footing.
