Verdict

LIBERTY GIRL (8) finished second last time out, beaten 3.5 metres, in a nice return to form at Oamaru over 1 ?m. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. This is a nice drop in grade so she is sure to prove tough to beat again. OLYMPIAN (10) is back from a break of nine weeks and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. PICK IT UP (11) pulled up last start over 1 ³/16m at Addington five weeks ago. This is a nice assignment and a top-three finish looks on the cards. ULTIMATUM (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw. Include in combinations.
