Verdict

WHAT YOU WISH FOR (6) was last seen hitting the line strongly for sixth in the Counties Cup 4 weeks ago, finishing less than a length from the winner. He has trialled since then, and the extra 1 ½f is the key here. On top. MOONLIGHT MAGIC (14) came to the end of her run quickly in the Waikato Cup last week, and will have no more excuses here. She is down in the weights and is worth one more chance in a fairly even field. TITICACA (12) was outpaced over a mile at Tauherenikau 10 days ago, and will be far more competitive over 21 ½f on this roomy track. He drops 14lbs in weight and welcomes the in-form Kelly Myers back to the saddle. Each way claims. FREDDIE TIME (10) drove hard up against the fence when scoring an impressive BM75 win over 1 5/16m at Otaki nearly 3 weeks ago. He is down in weight and has more to offer. Stick with him. ATMOSPHERIC (13) ran on late and was beaten by a very smart type at Pukekohe 4 weeks ago. The extra furlong won't be a problem, and he can go one better.
