Verdict

SIGHT TO SEE (5) ran on strongly to grab 2nd when fresh at 1m 2 back then wasn't disgraced in open company last start. Better suited to this trip and has a great record 3rd-up. TARAMEA LAD (6) dropped back to 1m and ran on nicely last start at Wingatui. That followed two fair runs at Riccarton after a brave win over 1 ?m at Oamaru in July. Has claims on home course. PAR TEE (4) got a mile back and made some ground when first-up at Wingatui over 1m. Better for that run and the trip suits here. Improver. TRALEE BAY (7) made some ground from a mile back when first-up last start. Nice record 2nd-up but trip a query. FLASH ROCA (2) was outclassed in the Winter Cup but won a R75 the start after and just fair in 3 runs since. Get back type who may appreciate the extra trip here.
