Verdict

HOORAY FOR HARRY (10) has hit the line in each of his last 2 starts, and there will be no fitness excuses fourth up from a spell. The key this time is having Opie Bosson replace an apprentice, and he should go close to taking this out. COOL 'N' FAST (2) was a game runner-up here when chasing down a hat-trick of wins last time out, 3 weeks ago. He drops to 6f, but that should not be a problem, and he should be right in the finish again. QUEEN OF SHEBA (15) was runner-up in the Gore Guineas in her penultimate start, and may have been a run short over 5f here last week when finishing fifth. The extra 1f is ideal, and she can bounce straight back into the money here. BOSS 'N' HIGHHEELS (13) cops a tough gate, but she has been genuine since relocating to the South Island. With the right run, she can figure in the top 4 again in an even contest. TORONTO (4) was narrowly beaten in his first run on this track fresh up last week. He has real ability, and he can go one better.
