RICOCHET (4) copped a tough trip from a wide draw at Trentham nearly 3 weeks ago, and weakened in the run to the line. That was his first start over a middle distance this prep, and he will be better for it. Stick with him on top in this field. SHEEZ DOMINANT (2) has really come of age this season, and made it 3 wins from her last 4 starts when scoring by half a length here 5 weeks ago. She likes some cut in the ground, and with only an extra 2kg to carry, she can repeat the dose. BLUE JEANIE (5) was an impressive BM65 winner at Whanganui in the spring, and her 2 starts at this level since then have also been sound when not having much luck. She has a superior gate this time, and she is worthy of each-way consideration. THRILLING (6) did not feature in the same race as the top pick last time out after some very good lead-up form. She is better than that, and she is worth another chance. MCKHAN (1) will be peaking third up from a spell, and he is good enough to take this out.
