Verdict

SUAVETTA (11) up to 1 ?m for her last two starts and had no luck when probing for a run from 2nd last Oct 10 then charged home off a similar run for a head 3rd and ran right through the line. Take beating here. DUPUG (3) was eased back from the outside gate and made ground well in an on-pace dominated race over 1 5/16m at Otaki last start. Expect the extra distance and big track to suit here. SECRET WISH (6) had no luck in this race last year when caught wide from a wide draw so pressed on to sit outside the leader and weakened. Stronger this year. TETBURY (7) was held up soon after straightening but got very close over 1 ?m at Ashburton then was caught wide without cover here last time. Keep safe. ILLUSIONIST (1) put in a charging run from near last for a close 2nd here then no luck when wide early and fought well at Wingatui. Worth thought here.
