Verdict

TULSA TURNAROUND (7) has been edging her way to a maiden win in 3 starts since relocating from the North Island, and a firmer surface will do her no harm. A good draw is a help, and with Matt Cameron replacing an apprentice, he will be hard to beat in this. DREAM ROMANCE (6) was a beaten favourite at Wingatui nearly 3 weeks ago when failing to cop the testing heavy track that day. She is capable of sharp improvement in this. Follow your money. COCOMORA (5) did not have all favours on the Riccarton poly track last start 4 weeks ago and with 2 placings from 4 starts here, she is ready third up to put her best hoof forward. Stick with her. ZASHUBO (8) ran her best race yet when finishing runner-up here last time out, running on strongly from midfield. She benefits from a 7lbs claim, and can run in the top 4 again. CHINO'S BOY (1) has won a trial since resuming with a good fourth on the poly track at Riccarton 4 weeks ago. The step up to 1m will suit him, and he can take this out.
