A race that lacks early pressure on paper. TARZADOR (7) followed up an encouraging effort fresh at Ellerslie with a game third at Cambridge on their poly track 11 days ago. Dropping back from 2000m to 1700m won't bother her, and she should be right in the finish again. OUR GIULIA (5) failed to run at Whanganui just over 6 weeks ago, and her freshen up would have done her no harm. She drops 4kg after a claim, and she is capable of finishing a lot closer this time. Each way value. TIMEX (4) ended up getting too far back at Otaki last time out, and that run is best overlooked. She has a superior gate here, and she is worth another chance. PLATINUM SIXTY SIX (2) resumed with a good run for second on a heavy track at Whanganui, and her record is even better on this surface. With luck from a wide gate, he can take this out. LURCH (1) was runner-up when resuming, and he should be right in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Giulia each way value.
