Verdict

DAMASK ROSE (10) returns from a short break after finishing sixth over 1400m in the G2 Auckland Guineas at this track a month ago. Kept up to the mark with a recent Matamata trial placing. Drawn out. Looks a filly with scope galore. She can win this. YALDI (1) has had two wins and two placings in New Zealand. Can overcome wide gate. Proven in dry and wet ground. PROSEGUR (11) has not gone a bad race so far. Drawn wide. Wet tracker so far. BOURBON PROOF (6) is a class riser in this. Has run super in all runs here. Drawn wide in this. TUXEDO (3) has been racing well on wet ground so far. Best barrier to date. Cannot be omitted.
