Verdict

LE JACQUES CARTIER (1) is a promising gelding who has been patiently handled in his short career, and he will resume from a good draw here. Opie Bosson is back, and that is a big positive on the big days. On top for us. BIT OF A DAGG (3) only won a maiden on the poly at Cambridge fresh up just over 8 weeks ago, but he looked to have more in hand at the line that day. He is in good hands, and can measure up here as well. OCEAN RULES (9) ran some big races in 3 starts last prep, including her maiden win second up at Pukekohe. She is stronger now, and a recent trial will ensure that she is ready to run a big race fresh. Check the market moves. WITH A VENGEANCE (11) won as expected on debut as a juvenile before finishing fifth in stakes company before having a spell. He resumes as a gelding, and will be ready to rumble if his recent trial win is anything to go by. LOS SANTOS (5) was back in form when finishing runner-up at Taupo nearly 3 weeks ago. Stick with him.
