Place
F: 2X4B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
Terrific run by this 4yo mare when resuming after a year off the track. Was well backed that day and only beaten just over 2 lengths and will take a lot of improvement
Main Danger
1 Coney Island
F: 8X522B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Lisa Latta )
From gate 2, will lead and might be hard to peg back on a Good4

F: 64B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Sarah O'Malley )
( T-Stephen Nickalls )
Late getting to the track but patience may pay off as Stephen Nickalls looks to have a promising type here.

This Andrew Forsman runner was well backed on debut in January but things did go well. Given time and now has the services of Joe Doyle to add to its chances

Top Pick
2 Lemaitre
F: 42B(11)W(58.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Peter Didham )
This race looks perfect for Peter Didham's runner to break maidens. Can finish strongly and the extra 200m is what it wants
Main Danger
7 Ella Kate
F: 446B(12)W(56.5)
( J-Lisa Allpress )
( T-Anne Harvey )
Has showed the ability to win is there in first two runs and would have been closer with clear run last time. Although drawn wide, having Lisa take over the reins puts it in the mix

Top Pick
8 I Am Jazz
F: 22XB(5)W(54.0)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-John Bary )
A number of chances in this and we liked this one's potential last campaign. Resuming over the 1100m will test our judgement!
Main Danger
6 Ima Brazen One
Dividend : $5.10, $1.80
Won
F: 1X5B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mike Breslin )
well fancied when winning only run last campaign and resuming run suggested it's retained that ability. Wide draw the concern over this distance
Next Best
1 Valentine
F: 43X18B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Walker/Bergerson )

( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Fraser Auret )
One win from its five starts in its first campaign and stable has then 'ready ti win' when fresh up

Place
F: 53326B(4)W(57.0)
( J-Lisa Allpress )

Top Pick
2 Songwriter
Dividend : $1.60
Place
F: 42B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Fraser Auret )
Looking at its two runs to date, this one looks readymade for the middle distance races. Sam Weatherley times his finishes well and has been handed the reins
Main Danger
10 Lucky Bay
F: 53828B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
( T-Clinton Isdale )
Down from the north and Wiremu Pinn to ride. He's riding well and it ran nicely here for second at the beginning of the month
Next Best

Place
F: 78X69B(7)W(58.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )
( T-Brendon McDermott )

Won
F: 32933B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Lisa Allpress )
( T-Ilone Kelly )
Model of consistency but yet to get the win from seven starts, always finding one or two better. Made a good debut over 2100m last time and will not be far away
Longer Odds
4 Yungblud
F: X35X7B(11)W(58.5)
( J-Joe Doyle )
( T-Matt Dixon )
First run at middle distance and that might see improvement. Early money for it and Joe Doyle rides

Top Pick
Best "Each Way"
1 Justaskpercy
F: 08091B(7)W(60.0)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Suzy Gordon )
Yes, its a 7yo and yes, it paid $46 when surprising at Waverley last start .. but it really impressed with the way it cleared out over 1650m then. At these odds, worth taking a chance on it repeating
Main Danger
6 Rischio
F: 80004B(3)W(57.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Austin Brown )
Improved run and not far away with apprentice up last time. Michael McNab now takes the reins
Next Best
8 Miyazawa
F: 8X138B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Peter Didham )
The way it won when resuming, and subsequent race, say its too good to leave out. But didn't appear to run out the distance when over 2100m last time

2 Popsagoosey
F: 01450B(5)W(59.0)

Consider
4 Fonsi
F: 35172B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Wiremu Pinn )
