Verdict
RUFUS (1) has needed time to mature, and resumes from a spell that would have done him the world of good. He has had a couple of tune-up trials, but the key here is having Opie Bosson in the saddle, and when he links up with the Forsman stable, it usually produces positive results. The blinkers go on, and he is the one to beat. OBERON (2) peaked on his run late when finishing midfield on debut at Arawa Park 3 weeks ago. He was under 2 lengths from the winner, and he won't have to improve by much to be a top 3 threat here. CELEBRATE NOW (8) won the latest of her 3 trials very easily at Avondale last month, and she has the breeding to make her mark. The market will be the best guide. Watch closely. PERLINO (9) won the latest of her 6 trials on the same day as the fourth pick, albeit in a slower time, but she is well educated, and she will have Craig Grylls in the irons. She is another who will carry some solid market support. Include. LUCKYTOBEHERE (6) has each-way claims.
