Verdict

LA DAMA (3) ran third last start at Central Southland Raceway over 1 ½m, beaten 16 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. MAJESDIX (4) finished third at Oamaru two runs ago before a less impressive effort at her latest appearance over 1 ?m at Gore, beaten 25 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and she can turn in a much better performance. FATHER NED (6) is better than his last-start run for eighth over 1 ³/16m at Addington would suggest. Worth another chance. ROSEANNA (1) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw.
