Verdict

PRESTIGIOUS (5) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 5.5 metres over 1 ?m at Addington. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. MR LOVE (3) finished 12th last start over 1 ?m at Addington, beaten 30 metres, after a good second at Addington the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. MIDNIGHT DASH (7) is better than his last-start tenth over 1 ?m at Addington would suggest. Has place claims. TARRAGINDI (4) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1 ?m at Oamaru two runs ago.
