F: 33B(1)W(67.0)
( J-Sam O'Malley )

F: 23xB(6)W(56.0)

F:B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
On debut and trials suggest it won't be long winning, having won two of its trials. Leah Hemi is a much improved rider and had a double down south yesterday
Main Danger
6 Button Ya Lip
F: 669x2B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Wayne Moorehead )
The two favourites are clearly good prospects and will be hard to beat. But this one ran its best career performance last time and the booking of Craig Grylls might get it home at the head of affairs
Next Best
8 Wild Thyme
F: 97327B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Richard McKenzie & Jordan Bassett )
If you can excuse its last run, it rates a chance on prior runs. In-form jockey is reunited

F: 7B(2)W(55.0)

Andrew Forsman sends this promising 2yo to this country meeting to get a win on the board, and on what its done so far, it should be a formality. The short odds reflect that

Place
F: 576x6B(3)W(53.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )

Consider
1 Guzzler
F: 76x46B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Sam Lennox )
The local Lennox family will be in full support of this runner, and was only just over a length from the winner here, two back

( J-Jonathan Riddell )

In behind them at both runs to date and looked to have upside. Third up will know what the game's about

7 Hot Mama

F: 56x51B(7)W(57.0)

Slow away and never a winning chance when resuming but put that to rights when bolting in here five weeks ago. Gets 4kg claim again and could be smart
