Verdict

There was merit in the latest performance of BETTER BE QUICK (13) when fifth at this venue. Won the only time she attempted this longer distance and it came at this circuit. Winning claims if things go her way from the second row. BLAZING KNUCKLES (15) is another that may need luck from the barrier but was good when scoring at her most recent outing at Rangiora. Deserved that having recorded minor placings in three of her previous four outings. Could go on with it. TOPAZ (14) must be considered after she finished third at Rangiora six days ago. HUGO (4) can do better stepping up to a distance where his form sound.
