LA NUOVA DRY CLEANERS 3YO 1200m Track: GOOD3 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Cracking tempo with Waka and Cremant leading the way. QUEEN'S EVIDENCE (3) was good enough to run third fresh up in the G3 Gold Trail Stakes at Ellerslie in the spring, and she was a run short when finishing fourth there a month ago. She has 2.5kg less to carry this time and is the one to beat. WAKA (1) was heavily backed and delivered the goods on debut at New Plymouth just over 5 weeks ago. A firmer surface won't bother him, and he can win again. DIPLOMATIC (2) only battled over the final stages on debut at Te Rapa, but still managed to finish a game fourth. He will continue to improve with racing and can figure in the top 3 this time. BELLE NOIRE (5) won her maiden fresh up at Tauranga, and then was third at Arawa Park a fortnight ago. She has the pole position and can hold her form. Each way. HELLO MY DEAR (6) is still a maiden and she was a beaten favourite at Otaki last time out over 1400m when trying to lead all the way. She drops back to 1200m, and is worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen's Evidence can win this.
