1 Ouch

F: 10656B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )

First run at the Carnival and on heavy ground. Her recent runs when racing on speed have had merit and I can see getting a piece of this
Consider
5 Radiant Reach
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 89292B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
The market suggests she is a good winning chance but has been racing over further than today which is a concern

( J-Gosen Jogoo )

Won
F: 33474B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )
( T-M & M Pitman )
I think she has the class edge on this field and that is why she is on top. Very ordinary last time but has some good performances on heavy ground

Next Best
4 Miss Harley Quinn
F: 12041B(5)W(60.5)
( J-Gosen Jogoo )
( T-Leonard Stewart )
Likely leader who was impressive winning an Open on the first day. Capable of running well here but she doesn't get the light weight she got on the first day which was key to her winning
Consider
2 Return With Honour
F: 980X0B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Lisa Vaughan )
He will likely need dryer ground but his best would be very competitive

F: 71969B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )
( T-Graham Eade )
I thought he was only fairly ridden on the first day when I was keen on his each way chances. Giving another chance

Best "Each Way"
5 Zambezi Zipper
F: 16075B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Donovan Cooper )

Saved for this race and with the apprentice claim she really comes into this. Won when last racing on a suitable track and I feel she gets one of those here

Place
F: 06023B(9)W(54.0)
( J-Gosen Jogoo )
( T-Stephen Blair-Edie )
He ran a great on speed race on the first day in the Riverton Cup for third. Rates as a strong chance and a previous winner of this race
Next Best
2 Exchange
F: 40299B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-B & S Anderton )
We know he has the ability for this and I think should take natural improvement from last start when racing very unkindly
Consider
3 Leave It To Me
F: 01499B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Samantha Wynne )
( T-Jo-Anne Dalton )
Has been going fair sort of races of late and Sam Wynne gets on with him well

F: 10048B(2)W(60.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )

Recent runs have been average including the Riverton Cup on Saturday but his ability is too good to leave out at the price offered today
