Verdict

DICKO'S DANCE (9) worked across to the lead then trailed a tearaway leader and dug in to score with a couple of big bounds late over 7f last start. The 4L margin back to 3rd says stick with me. QUEEN SANSA (8) handy mare beaten in a tight finish over 1 m last start after sitting handy on the outer and score nicely over 7f at Te Aroha. This trip looks ideal now and has won on heavy. LARK (14) got well back but made up a lot of ground to catch the runaway leader, Russian Prime last start at Taupo. Russian Prime won nicely at Hawera on Wednesday. HIP FLASK (3) battled late after a bad check 5f out on the heavy track 2 back then led and was reeled in by El Arish at Tauranga last time. Win came on heavy. STARCLAN (6) got home well for a 1.5l 4th first-up at Hastings behind Chicago Jack over 7f and ran on from last over 1m at Hastings last time. His win came on heavy in April. Include here.
