Verdict

PARTY UP DENARIO (2) finished fifth last start, beaten 20 metres at this track over 1 ¹/16m. Has the benefit of a good draw. This doesn't look as hard so she is set to play a significant role. BAUTISTA (8) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1 ¼m at Oamaru, beaten 2.5 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Recent efforts are good enough to win a race of this calibre. SHEZZA VINNY (10) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Cromwell over 1 ?m. Genuine threat. VAN LIBERTY (5) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1 ½m at Central Southland Raceway on February 26 in what was a harder field than what he meets here.
