Verdict

RIVER (3) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Has the benefit of a good draw. Well-placed to take this out. SANS REPOS (6) was responsible for a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1 ?m at Rangiora on August 23. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. BETTOR THAN LIZZY (1) is on the radar after her last-start fifth over 1 ?m at Rangiora a week ago. OCEAN OF TEARS (9) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1 ?m at Oamaru.
