Verdict

SNEAKY CYCLONE (2) has been edging his way towards a maiden win, and he tried his heart out at Avondale when finishing second as the favourite over this trip 10 days ago. Michael McNab sticks with him, and so do we. Follow your money. FORESTER (1) finished runner-up as Avondale on the same day as the top pick, but he was racing over 7f, He tries 1m for the first time, and his breeding says he will relish the task. Hard to beat. ARTFUL DODGER (6) made up a lot of late ground when finishing fifth at Ellerslie 5 weeks ago, and it was only a wide draw that prevented him from finishing closer. He has a superior gate this time, and he won't be in this grade for much longer. COMPULSION (3) ran his best race yet when finishing second at Ruakaka a fortnight ago. He won't have to improve by much to go one better in this, especially with the aid of a 7lbs claim. THE DARZI (5) made up a lot of late ground to finish fourth as the favourite in the same race as the third pick. Stick with him.
