Verdict

NOT USUAL PICK (2) finished one length from the winner in third on debut last start over 1300m at Te Rapa. Trial winner and placed clockwise prior. Can finish one or two better here. DEADLY DESIRE (8) was a good run at last start. Sure to relish the rise to a Mile. Can pay a dividend today. HEPHAESTUS (5) is a Roger James & Robert Wellwood trained three-year-old colt lining up for first race start. Four times trialled for a win and a fourth. Dam has left five winning foals with Wichita Warrior (6 wins) the most prolific. Tote the tell. VENDABELLE (9) was not too bad a run fresh up. She is ready to pay a dividend or be first four again. MODELO (3) is a chance if he repeats his debut performance for sure. Not out of this at all.
