Verdict

HELLDANCER (11) has found it hard to win another race, and after not firing a shot fresh up as the favourite at Riccarton, she was much better when running on late at Cromwell 3 weeks ago for sixth. She will be at her peak third up, and in an easier field, she is ready to put her best hoof forward. On top. PULL THE PIN (10) finally showed some form this prep when finishing runner-up here 8 days ago over a mile. She won her only race to date over this trip on this course, and she should go close to taking it out. CUPID'S ARROW (9) needed her fresh up run, and then has been a late scratching since that effort nearly 7 weeks ago. If she can run up to her form shown in the North Island, then she can win a race like this. REPROBATE (8) has slowly improved in each of his 2 starts this season, and will be at his peak for this assignment. He won his only start on this course and is worth including in all combos. MR JINGLES (4) cops another wide draw, but can get some of the top 4 here.
