Verdict

LAURA (11) produced a strong closing effort to finish third at Pukekohe over 1m last start, and she was scratched midweek to be saved for this race. She should again be in the finish with a similar effort. THE RITZ (13) resumed at Pukekohe and was sound without threatening, finishing midfield over 7f. She is bred to want more ground, and she is likely to be running on late here. Each way value. SHOW MERICAN (10) ran on late for third at Ellerslie last start, and the pole position helps. Include. PAPER ROMANCE (4) will be having just his second start as a 5YO gelding, and his debut effort for fourth at Ellerslie was good. He won't have to improve by much to figure in the top 3 this time. DEPARTURE (7) battled away on debut and he is another who is expected to improve with further racing.
