Verdict

LYDAH VALLEY (7) has worked her way back into winning form, proving too good at the latest appearance at Wingatui. Must overcome a wider draw but with even luck she can make it two on the bounce. CARRERA BANDIDO (10) won his only previous second-up attempt so should strip fitter. Draws on the back row again but showed some ability last time in. LOGAN ROCK (5) draws a little better than last start and was going well prior, placing two back at Addington to follow a win at Motukarara. Worth another chance. TAUMUTU LAD (12) drops to a distance where he has won before and did well to finish second from this same draw last start.
