Verdict

NEW MEXICO (16) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.5 metres from the winner in second over 1 ³/16m at Addington. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. TYRON EVEREST (8) made a good start to his career a week ago, beaten 7 metres into third over 1 ?m at Phar Lap Raceway. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. SECOND THOUGHTS (2) is ready to improve after debuting with a respectable fourth last time out over 1 ³/16m at Addington. TASMIN TROUBLE (10) has been steady in her last couple of runs, and she did enough last time out to suggest that she has each-way claims in this.
