Verdict

TAJANA (12) made up a lot of ground in the G1 NZ Oaks two starts back & charged home again when fresh but just missed a month ago. Looks right on target for this. QALI AL FARRASHA (1) last few starts all at group 1 or 2 level. Just missed when stalked the leaders in the Travis stakes last time in April & goes well fresh. Take a lot of beating. PLOY (9) resumed with an easy win at Te Rapa last start when staying handy to the speed. Tougher here but likely up to the task. HELLUVAH RETURN (6) nice mare who struck a purple patch of form late last prep with some big busts from the rear. Two trials should have her ready. CIRCUS DANCER (10) led and cleared out late for a big win when fresh last month. Has claims.
