Verdict

MARZENIE (8) is edging closer to an overdue win, and she finished a game runner-up at Matamata 4 weeks ago. She will again race handy from a good draw, and this time, she can have the last say. On top. RANDOM MISS (10) was less than a length from the winner when finishing third as the favourite on debut at Pukekohe nearly 4 weeks ago. She maps to receive the run of the race from the pole position, and with the natural improvement that is expected second up, she can take this out. Follow your money. TURFQUAKE (5) raced well after finishing third on debut, and he will be a lot stronger after his spell. A recent trial win here has him on target for a bold run fresh. Check the market moves. DON'T TELL THE MRS (4) resumes from a spell that would have done him the world of good. He won a trial here late last month, and he will also be ready to rumble fresh. Don't risk him. ALMAN D'ORO (6) has been improving at the trials, and if he is not too green on debut, then he won't be far away.
