Verdict

CHURCHILLIAN (9) can be a hard mare to get past when allowed to dictate the pace, and she was dominant when taking out the G3 Rotorua Stakes at Arawa Park over 7f 3 weeks ago when making all the running on a heavy track. She will be tough to peg back again. RIVERPLATE (4) showed plenty of fight to lead throughout and win the LR Rangitikei Gold Cup at Otaki over 1m a fortnight ago. He rises sharply in weight, but he can run into the top 4 again. KNOCK OFF (7) was below his best at Waverley last start, but he will be peaking now fourth up from a spell. He loves his home track, and a form reversal is on the cards. MR MOJO RISIN' (3) scored in good style at Waverley when controlling the race from the front and fighting on bravely to win by a length. There is more depth here, but he is honest, and he can't be taken lightly. WHO KNOWS (11) has been racing in tough fields since winning fresh up at Trentham in March, and her last start fourth was very good. Don't leave her out.
