Verdict

GARONNE (1) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at Cromwell, beaten 7 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Leading hope based on recent form. GEENA'S GIFT (9) ran fifth last start at Central Southland Raceway over 1 ½m, beaten 23 metres. Expected to run well. PONTIFF (8) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1 ?m at Cromwell two-and-a-half weeks ago. DAISYMEROLLIN (3) is worth some thought despite her last-start sixth over 1 ½m at Central Southland Raceway on February 26 afetr she made a slow beginning.
