Verdict

KAY'S RUEBE (9) has been disappointing in her last couple of starts, but she will appreciate getting up to 1 ¼m here. She will find this a tad easier than her last run, and she can bounce back into form with a top 3 finish in this. JIM DANDY (3) made up a stack of late ground in each of his 2 starts back from a spell, and he only needs to settle a touch closer to the pace, to be a big winning threat in this. Each way value. BOOTS TO FILL (2) caught the eye with a strong late finish into third on debut at Otaki just over 3 weeks ago, and he will have no problem with an extra 2 ¼f to travel here on his home track. He has the scope to win this. THE REPUBLICAN (1) has been mixing hurdling with flat racing, and he won't lack fitness. A heavy track is the key, and has also been placed in his only start here. Include in all top 4 combos. LES BOOTS (5) has been thereabouts in most of his races, but has just lacked strength, He resumes over a middle distance, so he must be fit. Include.
