Verdict

DICKO'S DANCE (9) worked across to the lead then trailed a tearaway leader and dug in to score with a couple of big bounds late over 7f last start. The 4L margin back to 3rd says stick with me. FLASHBACK (5) fought on well first-up at 7f then running on but held up until the ¾f mark at Ellerslie last time. Beaten 1L 4th at Ellerslie in March in only start at 7 ½f. QUEEN SANSA (8) handy mare beaten in a tight finish over 1 m last start after sitting handy on the outer and score nicely over 7f at Te Aroha. This trip looks ideal now and is a danger here. LARK (14) got well back but made up a lot of ground to catch the runaway leader, Russian Prime last start at Taupo. Russian Prime won nicely at Hawera on Wednesday. HIP FLASK (3) battled late after a bad check 5f out on the heavy track 2 back then led and was reeled in by El Arish at Tauranga last time. Don't drop.
