Verdict

LEVAKIA (2) followed up an improved run for second in her penultimate start with an easy win as the favourite at Pukekohe nearly 3 weeks ago, scoring by almost a length. She remains in the same class, and an extra 4lbs may not be enough to stop her from winning again. CRACKERCOL (3) has had an impressive season, winning 3 times, and even though he was beaten as the favourite at Trentham 3 weeks ago, he is worth another chance. Follow your money. STEELY MAN (5) was beaten but not far off the winner when finishing seventh in the G2 Rich Hill Mile at Ellerslie in his penultimate start, and he then had no luck at all when having a tough wide trip there last time out as the favourite. He gets a big swing in his draw this time, and with an extra 2 ½f to travel, he can make amends. Stick with him. ASCENSION (11) built strongly to score third up at Te Aroha 5 weeks ago when leading all of the way. She will again take some pegging back here. THE TRENDSETTER (12) is up in grade, but can place.
