Verdict

AERIAL IMPACT (4) is a local gelding making his debut from a wide gate after showing ability at the trials. A wet track won't be an issue, and he is in the right yard to make an immediate impact. Follow the market moves. IN THE VINEYARD (7) made progress in her initial prep earlier in the year, and she will be even stronger now. All of her 3 career placings have been on heavy ground, and she will be ready to rumble fresh up. SHEZABITDIRTY (9) was close up in her only public trial to date, and from a good draw, she should make a bright start to her career, especially if there is some money for her. ACTIONBELLE (8) won the latest of her 2 public trials, and she would only need a touch of luck from a tricky gate to be very competitive in this. GRAND CAPITALIST (3) won a trial prior to finishing sixth on debut at Hawera 4 weeks ago. The trip away and the experience would have done him the world of good, and he will be a quick improver. Include. CALLIDONTA (13) cannot be risked. Each way.
