Verdict

COOL 'N' FAST (3) was a narrow winner last start at Ashburton over this trip, and he has a strong record at the distance, winning 2 of 4 attempts. He gets to stay in the same class, and the return of Opie Bosson is another plus. The hat-trick beckons. IRON HAWK (1) finished strongly to score by just under a length over 6f here second-up 3 weeks ago. The extra 1f is no problem, and he looks well placed to go on with it. BOSS 'N' HIGHHEELS (11) has progressed nicely since relocating from the North Island, improving off a fresh-up run to score as the favourite over 6f at Wingatui last month. This is tougher, but she is capable of another bold showing. Each way. VIVACIOUS (2) opened her campaign with an easy win on a heavy track before finishing fifth on a good surface over 7f here last time out. Stick with her, especially if it is wet. AIRPARK HUSTLER (5) was much better when finishing third at Riverton 7 days ago. He loves it here, and he can go one better.
