LOFTYS GIFT (1) finished second two runs back at Gore then improved last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 2400m in the LR Dunedin Gold Cup at Wingatui. Samantha Wynne scored on her last time and retains the mount. Finds a suitable assignment and can go back-to-back. THIRD DECREE (2) is progressing nicely and wasn't too far away last time when second over 1400m at Ashburton. Kylie Williams who has scored on her five times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. EARS BACK (4) ran sixth at her latest appearance over 1600m at Wingatui, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. One of the genuine contenders. ADANNAYA (5) comes here off a last-start sixth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1200m at Wingatui. Credentials hard to fault.
