Verdict

ORIGIN OF LOVE (1) resumed with a fair effort fresh up in a stronger field at Ellerslie nearly 3 weeks ago, and probably needed the run. She maps to get every chance from the pole position, and as a second up winner last season, it would be no surprise to see her take this out. ZANTABULOUS (2) is a stablemate of the top pick resuming from a spell, and she showed that she has lost none of her zest when winning a recent trial very easily earlier in the month. Expect her to be very competitive fresh up. BOLLI BELLE (13) makes up the trio of runners for the powerful Walker/Bergerson stable, and she will improve quickly after a sound run fresh up at Te Aroha on a track that was heavier than she preferred just over 3 weeks ago. The extra 1 ¼f here is the key, and she has top 3 claims this time. OH MAIMAI (12) strips fitter second up, and the Patterson stable has a strong record on this track. Include. OPPENHEIMER (3) is not to be underestimated with a run under his belt. Keep safe at odds.
