New Plymouth
Verdict
CATHERINENZ (3) is a very handy local mare who needed her fresh-up run at Trentham on a bog track there 3 weeks ago. She steps straight up to a mile and will be better with a run under her belt. A wide gate will probably be an advantage by the last race, and she can bounce straight back into form here. On top. SWINGIT OUR WAY (4) made up a stack of ground fresh up at Trentham and then won easily at Otaki 11 days ago. She is likely to get back again but will be at her full fitness third up from a spell, and another win would not be a shock. BALLROOM BLITZ (13) won fresh up on this track before failing to fire as favourite at Otaki 11 days ago when finding the space between starts a touch too long. She will be a lot sharper here and is expected to bounce straight back into the money. SOPHMAZE (10) made ground at Trentham 3 weeks ago and is ready for a mile third up from a spell. Don't risk her. Each way. BELLADONNA LILY (11) likes it here and drops in class. Stick with her.
