Verdict

BELLISH BOY (8) has been a tad disappointing in each of his 2 starts to date at Tauranga, and he will be having his first race day start in an anti-clockwise direction. He has a good gate and can set the record straight this time. Follow your money. TOMAHAWK (4) has improved in each of his 2 starts to date over 6f, and the extra furlong will be the key here. Stick with him from a handy gate. Each way. ROBERTO VELOCE (2) had some trial form before finishing third in a 6-horse field at New Plymouth 4 weeks ago on a testing heavy track that day. The extra 1f is ideal, and with the blinkers on, he can figure in the top 3 again. KING JAKKAL (3) stuck to his task gamely once again at Otaki when resuming there nearly 3 week ago. With some luck from a wide gate, he can also have a say in the outcome of this race. DARLIGHT PRINCE (1) settled midfield, and then hit the line with purpose on debut at Tauherenikau, when finishing runner-up. He cops a wide gate, but can't be risked.
