Verdict

FLORESCENCE (15) was well fancied on debut at Matamata over 6f but could only finish sixth after racing greenly throughout the running. Natural improvement is expected, and she has enough scope to measure up here, so stick with her. ANNIE BLING (10) was disappointing at Hastings last time out when well beaten over 7f, but she was not the only one to struggle in a track that was far too heavy considering no rain had fallen in the region for a week. She can make amends in this. Each way value. LA TIENDA (7) was second on debut, and then failed in a tougher field at Ellerslie. She cops a nasty gate here, but she is still a top 4 hope. CHAPPY (1) resumed with a solid run for third at Matamata nearly 3 weeks ago, and he will continue to progress with more racing. Include. WING AND A PRAYER (4) was fourth on debut, and from a similar good draw with natural improvement, he can figure in the top 3 here.
