Verdict

CHATAYA (9) finished powerfully when just missing out fresh up over 1600m at Ruakaka 2 weeks ago. She should improve with that run under her belt and looks well-placed to go one better. PARKLIGHT PRINCE (3) was prominent at the turn and managed third last start over 1400m at Hawera, beaten by less than 3 lengths. He looks well-placed for another bold showing. GIPPSY GOD (5) ran fourth last start, beaten 2.5 lengths over 1600m at Te Rapa, and is worth including in all combinations here. VOICE OF OHIO (10) cops a wide gate, but is backing up quickly, and the extra 250m could make all the difference here. Each way. VOLDEMORT (4) will be peaking third up and is expected to bounce back into some good form. Include in all multiples.
