Verdict

ANDERSON BRIDGE (8) was a beaten favourite in the G2 Awapuni Gold Cup 5 weeks ago when not striding out on a track that was too holding at Trentham. His form over this trip prior was very good, and he is the one to beat for us. STONYBRECK (2) always tries his best and is normally very consistent when fit. He will be close to his peak, fifth up from a spell, and with Opie Bosson sticking with him, he can take this out. SIR ALBERT (1) has mixed his form this year, and he will appreciate dropping back to his pet trip of a mile here. If the track is not too wet, then he comes right into this. Each way. OUR APPROVAL (9) has held his form since arriving in this grade, and his fifth 2 starts back, followed by a third as the favourite here 5 days ago, have been runs that were full of merit. Stick with him. BETTY SPAGHETTI (5) did not have much luck off a tough trip here last week over 1 ¼m, and this assignment over 1m is more in her wheelhouse. Don't risk her.
