Verdict

MOVE ON (1) finished close up in third place at Wingatui in her penultimate start, and then was seventh but not far from the winner at Cromwell 3 weeks ago. She drops back to 6f, which is a query, but she has the right draw and can take this out. QUICK TAP (5) has grown a leg since joining the Ebony Turner stable, winning both of her starts this season at Cromwell, the latest of those when on a 2-day back up. This is not much tougher, and with 7lbs less to carry, the hat-trick beckons. MAGNASTAR (3) set the pace but had no rest and faded in the run home when resuming here 4 weeks ago. He may try similar tactics here after drawing in the pole position, and he may take some pegging back this time. MISS PEARL (4) resumes from a spell for the in-form Ebony Turner stable. She has not had any public trials, but has not missed a cheque in 2 starts on this track. Watch the market moves. MORE SASS (6) has been mixing her form but gets in light here, and is worth including in all combos.
