Verdict

OCEAN OPAL (6) is a promising filly who has been well looked after with just 3 career starts to her name, including a fresh-up second by a neck at Tauranga on good ground just over 2 weeks ago when sent out as the favourite. She strips fitter, and can go one better here. Follow your money. SALTBURN (1) probably should have won a race by now, and he could be suited by being kept to these shorter trips for now. He is deep into this prep and should be right in the finish here. CLASSIC GRACE (9) is a lightly tried 6YO mare who ran her best race yet when finishing third at Tauranga last start. Each way. PERFECTLY SET (8) resumes with the benefit of a 2kg claim, and she is worth including in all top 4 combos. AUTUMN HEIGHTS (10) strips fitter second up, and from the pole position, she has top 4 claims at a price.
