Verdict

ASYMMETRIC RETURN (4) opened her career in pleasing fashion last start, coming from the back row and finishing third over 1 ¹/16m at Ashburton. Starts on the front row this time and is open to natural improvement. A win looks imminent for FRANCO SUBLIME (9) having finished runner-up in his two starts to date, both at this circuit and distance. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but can break through with even luck. KING'S COMMAND (6) is looming as a threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this venue. LARISSA LILY (2) had a tough barrier and got it wrong last start but placed fresh prior and should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.
