Verdict

LINKIN PARK (5) struggled when resuming two starts ago and then was beaten by 6 lengths, finishing eighth over 1700m at Awapuni on the poly track three-and-a-half weeks back. He will be peaking third up, and with some gear changes since his last run, he will be hard to hold out. MAGEE (4) missed out two starts ago but improved to finish a game fourth over a mile at Ruakaka last time out. Well-placed here, and it is his best chance to win a race. GEORGIEWOOD (3) was slow away last start and ended up running on late for sixth over 1600m at Otaki. Each way claims in this field. SARRACINA (9) has been out of form, finishing unplaced in her last two runs, including a seventh over 2200m at this track. She has been placed in 3 of her 4 starts on this track and is worth another chance. OUR EASY STREET (10) is worth keeping safe, especially now that she has a run under her belt.
