Verdict

BETTOR N JOY (13) scored at her most recent outing by 8 metres at Mt Harding over 1m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. No favours expected from this draw. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to make it two on the trot. SANDY SHORE (12) is in good form at present. Finished third at her latest appearance over 1 ¹/16m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 6 metres. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can grab a well-deserved win. JUKEBOX GYPSY (5) should be at her peak for this. Finished third over 1m at Mt Harding at the latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. BREENY'S CONQUEROR (6) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1 ³/16m at Rangiora last time out.
