Verdict

CENTURIAL (4) has not been far away in both of his starts to date, and the extra 1f here will suit him. He has the pole position, and is the one to beat for us, especially with Craig Grylls keeping the faith. LUCKY DICE (5) has yet to race up to his trial form, and he was looking for more ground when finishing midfield fresh up here nearly 3 weeks ago. Stick with him. SUPREMELY (12) needed her fresh up run at Matamata 3 weeks ago over 5 ¼f. Expect her to be more competitive over an extra 1 ¾f here. Include in all top 4 combos. STARCLAN (1) has trialled since finishing fourth fresh at Te Rapa nearly 8 weeks ago. He is capable of figuring in the finish.
