Verdict

ETERNITY FRANCO (3) ran 11th last start at Phar Lap Raceway over 1 ¼m, beaten 460 metres after having made a mess of the standing start when she was well fancied. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Racing from a mobile start today is worth another chance. CRUNCHY GRANOLA (11) resumes here after closing his last prep with a fourth at Addington on July 17. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. ROGUE WAVE (6) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1m at Central Southland Raceway as the favourite when trying to lead all of the way. Should run a big race. FRUGAL (9) finished just 6 metres away over 1 ¼m at Oamaru last start. Strips fitter third-up and can finish in the top-three. Include in combinations.
