Verdict

SQUIRE (4) is a top class hurdler who was too tough when scoring by a neck here nearly 3 weeks ago. The extra 2f will suit him even more, and he is set to repeat the dose. THE BAMBINO (3) went huge on the flat fresh up, and then got too far back at Whanganui 2 weeks ago. Expect some sharp improvement back in his favoured jumping role. Stick with him. TAIKA (2) is a very accomplished hurdler who will be peaking after a couple of runs back from a spell on the flat. Each way claims in this. DICTATION (1) blew out and needed the run fresh up on the flat nearly 7 weeks ago at Waipukurau. Expect a much better effort over hurdles. Include in all top 4 combos. PACHECO (8) has plenty of talent in this role, and he is a must for all combinations. Each way value.
