Verdict

CRACKLE N CRUNCH (11) finished fifth last start, beaten 14 metres at Kaikoura over 1 ³/16m. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. UNICO REALTA (12) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when coming from well back in the running into the turn to finish third over 1 ¹/16m at this track. No favours expected from this draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. BETTOR THAN LIZZY (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1 ³/16m at Addington last time out. From an inside draw has each-way claims. SWEET WILLOW (14) is also in contention although the draw makes his job a lot tougher.
