Verdict

DROPS OF GOD (9) has been freshened up since her last start third in G3 company at Ellerslie in January. She cops a wide gate, but with Craig Grylls in the saddle, she is worthy of each-way consideration. TO CAP IT ALL (4) made progress this season, and has been close up in some hot fields. She looked sharp when winning a recent trial, and having Michael McNab in the saddle is a positive lead. Watch closely. PLATINUM PANTHEON (1) was too good for a decent field at Tauranga 6 weeks ago. A wide gate is no help, and without any recent trials, he could be a run short, but on ability, he can't be risked. FLEETING STAR (10) was game in defeat fresh here 8 days ago. Stick with her.
