Verdict

RIP WHEELER (3) resumes after finishing fourth at his latest appearance at Addington on June 14. Has the benefit of a good draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. CARRERA BRAVO (5) ran fifth last start at Gore Raceway over 1 ?m, beaten 8 metres. Expected to run well. PERAKI LAD (6) is in the mix at his first run since finishing fourth over 1 ?m at Waterlea Raceway eight months ago. WHATSUPMAN (2) resumes from a spell after finishing sixth over 1 ¼m at Motukarara Raceway four-and-a-half months ago. Fresh-up can place in the top-three.
