Verdict

GO TRIGGER (1) has been game in defeat in his last couple of starts and likes to race handy to the pace, which should be a big advantage on a heavy track here. He has a good draw, and with the aid of a 3kg claim, he can break through for a well-deserved first win. ABANDONMENT (2) battled on bravely to finish fourth 5 days ago at Otaki. The extra furlong is ideal, and a wide draw might be a blessing in disguise by this time of the day. Hard to beat. CRAFTSMAN (3) has had a couple of runs on the Awapuni poly track and was not beaten far in each of them. He will be seasoned enough to handle a heavy track and is ready to run into the money for the first time in his career. Include in all combinations. WINEWOMENANDSONG (8) is resuming from a spell for his second career start as a 5-year-old gelding. His future lies over hurdles, but he did finish second in a recent trial on the flat. The market will be your best guide.

Last start didn't do much in the run home; 5th of 11 at Otaki on July 8 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Jaeger carrying 58.5kg at $29.60. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at Te Aroha on June 22 over 1150m, on rain affected going; 4 len behind Bernie's Ego carrying 58.5kg at $32.80. Well held last time and others rate better.

Facing the starter for the first time. Five-year-old gelding by Turn Me Loose out of Abeautifulred. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1200m at Foxton June 24. Doubt he will make an impression here so prefer others.
