Verdict

COUNTACH (5) was a beaten short-priced favourite on debut, but he did have an excuse on a poorly prepared waterlogged heavy track at Hastings just over 3 weeks ago. He is big on potential, and he is set to make amends here. Follow your money. GREEK ANTHOLOGY (1) had put together back-to-back minor placings prior to finishing sixth as the favourite at Te Aroha 10 days ago. He will appreciate the return to racing in an anti-clockwise direction, and he can bounce straight back into the money here. Stick with him. MIGHTY MACCA (3) has needed both of his runs back from a spell, and he fought well for seventh as the favourite at Hawera last start when copping some early pressure. Don't drop him yet. NO MORE PENNIES (6) has been thereabouts this prep. Include in all bets.
