Verdict

MERRIAMA (5) ran a top race on debut when third, and then was put aside after weakening out of it in her last start in the spring. She won the latest of a couple of tune-up trials this year, and in a thin field, she will be the one to beat. LOMASI (8) battled away fairly well on debut at Matamata nearly 2 weeks ago, and dropping back 200m on a relatively quick backup won't bother her. A good draw should see her figure in the top 4 this time. THE WEEKEND (11) makes his debut as a late-season juvenile, and he has drawn the coveted pole position. He is bred to cope with a wet track, and any market support will be our best guide. CASA RUBICK (3) did nothing when trained in Hong Kong, and he could improve under NZ training conditions. A recent third at the trials should ensure that he will be ready to rumble fresh. Check the market. TASSELS (6) caught the eye on debut when finishing fifth, and she won't have to improve by much to be an each-way threat in this. Each way.
