Verdict

BRUTAL RIFF (1) won on debut at Wingatui, and then was runner-up at Riccarton prior to going for a spell after a modest effort there in late April. He would have further matured over his break, and will be in good condition for his return with a couple of trials under his belt. Follow any positive money trails. COOL IN COMMAND (8) made his South Island debut a winning one when scoring a soft win on the Riccarton poly track, and he won't find this much harder. He benefits from a kilo claim, and with a turf surface not being an issue, he can repeat the dose. EXPLODE (2) has found it hard to win another race, but he will be rock-hard fit after holding his form well enough during his winter campaign. He has the pole position, and is worth including in all top 4 combos. INTERLAKEN (3) had his issues after w debut win at Avondale, and he makes his South Island debut fresh up. Check the market moves. DRIFTIN (6) can be a touch wayward, but if she runs true, then she can win this.
