Verdict

THOOZA (3) hasn't featured in her past couple, most recently finishing ninth at Te Rapa. This assignment looks more suitable, and with an extra 1f being ideal, she is capable of figuring in the top 3 this time. EL ARISH (6) showed good early speed at Tauranga before kicking clear for a tough win over 1m. He is likely to roll forward again, and with 13lbs less to carry here, he should be competitive. LUPO SOLITARIO (4) resumed with a below-par effort at Te Rapa but will be fitter for that run. Improvement is expected after he had won a trial before that fresh effort, so stick with him. SIXTH GENERATION (5) burst through late to score by a nose in a similar grade at Waverley a month ago, and he is a top 4 chance with a repeat performance.
