Verdict

SHIRASE (11) finished just over length from the winner here when fourth on debut over this trip. Her trial form prior was very good, and she can only improve from that experience. Michael McNab has picked up the ride, and she can win a maiden shortly. LINE DANCER (1) is heading the right way with her form this prep, and she stuck on bravely after finding the front from a wide draw at Ruakaka nearly 8 weeks ago, finishing runner-up by half-a-length. Dropping back to 6f is ideal off a freshen up, and she can take them all the way this time. HAIKU (2) resumes from a spell after showing plenty of promise as a 3YO in her initial prep last season. A recent trial would have topped her off nicely for her return, and she is expected to be very competitive fresh. MATEARA (6) is a 4YO mare making her debut, and her recent trial win indicates that she won't be in this class for long. TZARINA'S CROWN (7) won her latest trial, and has been given plenty of time to mature. Follow the market.
