Verdict

ELLE MCFAB (3) set the pace fresh up at Ellerslie in BM75 grade and weakened in the run home. She will be spot on second up and looks perfectly placed with the drop in class here. She won her only race here when making her debut on a heavy track, and with Warren Kennedy replacing an apprentice, she is the one to beat. SAVVY DONNA (10) is a very capable filly who will find this much easier than her first 2 starts back from a spell. She only needs some luck from a tricky gate to be hard to beat at this easier level. MARRIAGE VOWS (6) will be peaking fourth up from a spell, and she has steadily improved in each of her 3 starts this prep. If the gaps come at the right time, she can have the last say, especially if the track is heavy. GUIPAGO (4) could not back up his maiden 1 ?m win at his penultimate start when plugging on for seventh over 1 ½m at Te Rapa 2 months ago. A heavy track will bring him right into this at odds. KING WILLIAM (2) might need this, but he is still a chance.
