Wanganui Race 3 - LA NUOVA DRY CLEANERS 3YO 1200
QUEEN'S EVIDENCE (3) was good enough to run third fresh up in the G3 Gold Trail Stakes at Ellerslie in the spring, and she was a run short when finishing fourth there a month ago. She has 2.5kg less to carry this time and is the one to beat. WAKA (1) was heavily backed and delivered the goods on debut at New Plymouth just over 5 weeks ago. A firmer surface won't bother him, and he can win again. DIPLOMATIC (2) only battled over the final stages on debut at Te Rapa, but still managed to finish a game fourth. He will continue to improve with racing and can figure in the top 3 this time. BELLE NOIRE (5) won her maiden fresh up at Tauranga, and then was third at Arawa Park a fortnight ago. She has the pole position and can hold her form. Each way. HELLO MY DEAR (6) is still a maiden and she was a beaten favourite at Otaki last time out over 1400m when trying to lead all the way. She drops back to 1200m, and is worth another chance.

Scored over 1100m at New Plymouth Raceway last start when lining up for the first time. Open to plenty of improvement and another win is on the cards.

Fair debut last start over 1200m at Te Rapa when unplaced but beaten only 2.75 lengths into fourth. Has upside and should run well.

Good effort last start to win her maiden over 1200m at Otaki at just her second appearance by 1.5 lengths. Harder here but can go on with it.

Finished third first-up at Trentham then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fourth at Otaki over 1400m when beaten 3 lengths. Sure to be thereabouts.

Form since resuming has been disappointing, last start finishing sixth over 1000m at Trentham. Looks safely held.
