Verdict

ORSON STONE (5) was a beaten favourite in a good field at the end of his initial prep, and probably lacked some strength at the time for his first run over a middle distance. He will be stronger now, and a recent trial will have him ready to rumble fresh, and his wide gate may even be an advantage on a heavy track. Check the market moves. ACCENTUATE (11) just battled fresh up after her saddle slipped just after the start, and that run is best ignored. She has a superior gate here, and she will have Craig Grylls replacing an apprentice this time, so give her another chance. WINWOOD (6) needed his debut run, and then caught the eye with a big finishing win by more than a length at Pukekohe just over 3 weeks ago. He has the scope to repeat the dose. SHINING PEARL (10) has raced his way into some good form, and he has raced well since winning his maiden in February. She cops a wide gate, but she is still worth including in all top 4 combos. WITH GRACE (15) has top 4 claims at big odds.
