Verdict

COMMANDER JOE (3) produced another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1 ?m at Rangiora. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Good enough to take out a race like this. DECEPTIVE LEE (10) ran fourth last start at Oamaru over 1 ?m, beaten 7 metres. Expect him to be prominent. THE NIGHT AGENT (4) resumes from a spell. Last appeared when a modest 12th over 1 ¹/16m at Cambridge Raceway three months ago. Fresh-up can place. I'M ROCKIN (5) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1 ³/16m at Addington nine days ago.
