Verdict

INDIE ARDIE (7) Brilliant winner flashing home from off the speed in most recent run at Riccarton Park. Steps up in distance, a definite winning hope. SUNSET BOULEVARD (1) Talented stayer who won well over 1 ?m before a solid effort in stakes company at Otaki. Races highly back on a spacious track. PROSERVE (3) Veteran stayer ready to peak third up. Caught the eye closing hard from the tail of the field to finish fifth in a recent outing. 1 ¼m trip suits here. SIGHT TO SEE (8) will relish a heavy track, and she was back in winning form at Wingatui 8 days ago. She is right in this, so stick with her. MCKHAN (4) should be spot on with his fitness fourth up from a spell, and a wet track will do him no harm. Include in all combos.
