Verdict

BELLA'S BOY (4) is in great form including a head 2nd here 3 starts back at this trip and came with a strong run to score over 1m here last month. Top show again. EL ARISH (9) battled on after getting a mile back in his first 2 starts since a spell over 6f and 7f then up to a mile, stayed handy, and too good at Tauranga last time. Has won 2 of 4 at this trip. UPTOWN (15) ran on well for 3rd when fresh at Ruakaka then charged home from beyond midfield to score over 1m here last start. Usually gets back so wide draw not too bad. ERIN GO BRAGH (1) placed only start at this trip and building nicely this prep, going down less than 1L last start at 7f. Include. TAJANA (7) ran on well when fresh at Ellerslie last month then missed the start a stride and got back last and copped a bad check on the turn in a G3 at Hastings. Easier here.
