Verdict

CAPOTE (4) was a deserved winner at Avondale last time out when capping off some strong form, and he got the job done in style, scoring by 2 and a half lengths, which makes us think he can take the next step immediately in this. DEEP PURSUIT (5) trained off after recording an overdue maiden win at Pukekohe at the start of April, and was put aside for a spell. He is only lightly tried for a 7YO gelding, and he looks set to improve even more this season after cruising home to win a recent trial. Hard to beat fresh up. MISS ANNA LEE (7) is also a lightly tried 6YO mare who ended her last prep with a maiden win, and then resumed from a spell with a bold effort for fourth at Otaki when peaking on her effort late. She won a trial before that, and she will be spot second up to win a race like this. OCEAN ROAD (3) will be peaking third up from a spell, and he is at his best in bad ground. With the right run he can improve his thin track stats. Each way. BELL TIME POTAE (2) has top 4 claims.
