Verdict

DA ACE (1) is a very consistent 3YO gelding who was third at Te Rapa 4 weeks ago, and his wide gate here may not be a big hindrance if the track is heavy at this time of the day. He is overdue to break through. DUN TALKIN' (2) hit the line nicely for second at Te Aroha, and he will be peaking at the right time for this. A heavy track is what he needs, and he is set to go one better. THE MAILMAN (3) bounced straight back into form when finishing second by a nose at Te Aroha, and then was the favourite before his race was called off on Wednesday at Pukekohe. Stick with him. LADY CHARLTON (8) is another benefactor from the abandoned midweek meeting at Pukekphe, and she has top 4 claims in this. PAPER ROMANCE (6) battled away fairly well at Te Rapa nearly 5 weeks ago, and he is a lightly tried 5YO gelding with the talent to win a maiden race at least. Include. G'DAY GOLDIE (17) battled away at Te Aroha in testing ground last time out, and her recent form has been solid enough. Each way.

Dead Heat

Two or more horses finishing so close at the wire, that they were unable to be separated on a photo finish and deemed to have tied.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
