Place
F: 21B(4)W(57.0)

F: 2515XB(10)W(58.0)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )

F: 18X75B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Jarrod Fry )
( T-Terry Kelly )
Better for two runs back from a spell and it gets all favours off the inside draw. Fifth at Flemington last start was solid.

F: 30317B(7)W(59.0)
( J-Dean Yendall )
( T-Matthew Williams )

Main Danger
1 Jungle Jim
F: 66211B(5)W(63.0)
