Rich Attitude should find the front with Spandeedo and Too Sweet on her heels. TOO SWEET (7) battled away sound fresh at Trentham 3 weeks ago over 1200m in a stronger field than this. She contested exclusively stakes races through the spring, and with that recent run under her belt, she is ready to win at this level. PLATINUM SIXTY SIX (1) is a handy gelding resuming from a spell, and his record fresh is very good. He doesn't want the ground to be too wet, and with conditions to suit him, he is capable of a top 4 finish. Check the market moves. SPANDEEDO (6) did not like the good track at Hawera, but he will be a quick improver once he gets back on a wet track. Don't risk him. THE WEAPON (3) ran a nice race off a tough gate at Trentham last start, and his form is bubbling under. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Too Sweet each way, and The Weapon at some value.
