Verdict

HEPHAESTUS (2) was under pressure and unable to run on at Pukekohe last time out over 1 5/16m, and for now, he may just be better racing in an anti-clockwise direction. Stepping out to 1 ½m is the key, and in a slightly easier field, he should bounce back and be hard to beat. TAUPO DANCER (4) can be a touch one-paced and is at his best when the tracks are wet. He will find the 1 ½m to his liking, and has Craig Grylls in the saddle, which is a strong lead in a field like this. Stick with him on an each-way basis. MY MAEBELLINE GIRL (6) has found some form again by setting up big leads early on in her races. She has been placed 3 times from 6 starts over this trip, and she will make it interesting for a long way. SPRING QUEEN (14) has needed her racing to get fit, and all of her form has been on this track, including a placing over this trip. She is now ready to put her best hoof forward. Include. GUIPAGO (3) was an overdue maiden winner at Avondale 9 days ago. Go again.
