Verdict

ROSETTA ROAD (3) resumes after finishing seventh at her latest appearance at this track on May 31. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Finds a nice race and will be a major force. DESTINY'S ANGEL (5) ran fifth last start at Rangiora over 1 ¼m, beaten 6 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. LAURALEE (7) is a three-year-old filly by Bettor's Delight from Lauraella on debut. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Capable of taking this out. PICKETTYWITCH (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 1 ¼m at Rangiora.
