Main Danger
3 Za Beauteous
F: 42245B(7)W(57.5)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Going nice races and does drop in grade from last start. I don't know if she will like the heavy 10 ground she meets today but the apprentice claim suits

Consider
4 Whiny Meow
F: 3X369B(8)W(57.0)

( J-Daniel Bothamley )

Only missed once on heavy but had excuses that day meets the right sort of race to improve his recent form

Place
F: 7B(5)W(55.0)

F: NoneB(7)W(55.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Bill McNamara )
Another without any knowledge but off breeding Per Incanto produces runners and the mare was a 3yo Stakes winner

Top Pick
11 Glitzal
F: 780X2B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Samantha Wynne )
( T-Robert Dennis )
Ex northerner now with Robert Dennis. Three very good runs up to December, prior to moving south, and then would have gone close to winning in first run since, but for being checked
Main Danger
4 Ice Cold Gold
F: 02054B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Maurice Forde )
Yet to win in 15 starts but has recently shown improved form. Good draw, apprentice that claims 4kg and ability in the wet make it a chance
Next Best
12 Ledecky
Dividend : $2.40
Place
F: 934B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Brandon May )
( T-Clinton Isdale )
Down from the north and certainly its form credentials suggest it should be a winning chance. But with a heavy track and more rain forecast, it could be vulnerable
Consider
1 Gentle Ben
Dividend : $5.70, $2.10
Won
F: 02443B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Daniel Bothamley )

Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 23132B(8)W(55.0)
( J-Abdul Najib )

Prolific winner that is well weighted here, especially with the 3kg claim. Three times a winner in the heavy too and ever so consistent
Main Danger
12 Miss Pearl
Dividend : $11.80, $3.20
Won
F: 52532B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Wynne )
( T-Tommy Beckett )
Promising type that should have won more the one race, having been runner up in five. Samantha Wynne takes the reins and is drawn well
Next Best
10 Seikrid
F: 64547B(12)W(55.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-M & M Pitman )
Interesting to see Tina climb aboard this Pitman runner, having ridden Miss Pearl recently
Consider
4 The Grey Goose
F: 33511B(9)W(55.0)
( J-Krishna Mudhoo )
( T-Jo-Ann Gordon )
Dropping back from two terrific wins over 1600m and clearly in good heart. If it runs a bit handier, sure to be in the finish

3 Shockallia
F: 31121B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Ex northerner that is certainly enjoying its new environment and looks to be one of the best around over the middle distances down here. 4kg claim from apprentice that rode Prince Alby as well last start
Main Danger
4 Prince Alby
Dividend : $3.10, $1.40
Won
F: 65201B(4)W(55.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
Freshened after campaigning in the north to win well when resuming two weeks ago. Sure to be a factor today but might find this a bit harder
Next Best
5 Lochnaberry
F: 14571B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Bailey Rogerson )
( T-Lisa Vaughan )
Had to love its last start win in the Invercargill Cup 6 weeks ago, beating Shockilla. Anywhere near that form puts it in the finish
Consider
1 Capo Dell Impero
F: 51915B(1)W(61.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )

Needs to step up but looks the best of the 'roughies' to us

13 Just Maybe
F: 54533B(12)W(55.5)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-Kylie Williams )
Only the one win but certainly running better now trained by Kyle Williams, who also rides. Favourites a bit vulnerable here so this can be its chance
Main Danger
1 Industrialist
F: 03942B(8)W(60.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )

Will love the conditions. Got back from wide draw last start but rattled home for second and gets further here

Unlucky two back before doing it the hard way from gate 13 to easily win maiden last time. If coping with the 1600m, might surprise

F: 02211B(7)W(56.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-B & S Anderton )
Maiden three back when running second but has put that to rights in last two races with nice wins under Corey Campbell's riding. Likes to run near the pace and a hat trick of wins could be on the cards
Main Danger
9 Albazinga

A horse we like to pick as you're always going to get a run. Has a lot going for it here and, but for wide draw, would have been rated higher. Gets 4kg claim
