SACRED ZED (4) resumed with a solid late run over 1600m at Woodville 11 days ago, and that would have him spot on for his home track assignment. The wetter the better for this gelding, and with any luck in the running, he will be hard to hold out. BERNARDO (3) did not do anything fresh up at Otaki just over 2 weeks ago, and he needed the run badly over 1200m. He steps straight up to a more suitable middle-distance here, and the Myers stable knows exactly what they are doing. A form reversal is very likely. AIR DANCER (7) ran out of steam after leading at Waipukurau a fortnight ago, and he is likely to be ridden more quietly this time. He is near enough with his form, and he can bounce straight back into the money. BILLY BOY (1) is an exciting hurdler still with plenty of dash on the flat. He will be peaking third up from a spell, and if he gets the right sort of ride from the amateur, Monique Dey, then he can take this out.
