Verdict

LET FLY (3) failed to fire in 3 starts this season in the North Island and has relocated to the Joe Waldron stable. A change of scenery is just what the older mares need sometimes, and her best effort would see her winning this. Check the market moves. INDIE ARDIE (8) has held her form since posting an overdue but fully deserved maiden win at Cromwell 3 starts back. She drops 8lbs from her last start second at Wingatui, and she should go close to winning this. SIGHT TO SEE (5) is backing up quickly from a modest effort at Wingatui 6 days ago. She slides down in class and can bounce straight back into the money here. Each-way value. MARELLA MISS (9) bolted in to win her maiden in her penultimate start at Gore, and then came home with a rush for third last time out. She is backing up quickly and will be hitting the line hard again. Watch for her late. MAMAEA (6) was heavily backed and turned her form around with a ridiculously easy win at Gore 11 days ago. Stick with her.
