Verdict

AMALFI (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a third over 1 ³/16m at Rangiora. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of continuing his fine form. FAREWELL SPIT (13) ran fourth last start at Waterlea Raceway over 1 ?m, beaten 11 metres. Expecting a very good run. FLO MOTION (7) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at Oamaru over 1 ¼m. Must be included. HI HOPES (12) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
