F: 64433B(5)W(73.0)
( J-Portia Matthews )
( T-Mark Oulaghan )
The class of the race. Terrific on the flat two back but was never going to get to them after being so far off the leaders at the 600m last time. It will be a different story today

Won
F: 8221B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Kavish Chowdhoory )
( T-Michael & Matthew Pitman )
After finishing runner up to Cool Aza Rene in its two races prior, with that one out of the way it was very impressive in winning in the Heavy last time, by over 4 lengths. Looks like it will take a good one to beat it today

F: 05254B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

Dividend : $1.30
Place
F: X0P92B(7)W(73.0)
( J-Willie McCarthy )
( T-Mark Oulaghan )
The star act for a number of seasons now, it showed its far from a spent force with a gutsy run last time out. Not a lot of depth in the field, looks the biggest danger to the favourite, and should be in the money
Next Best
7 Nedwin
F: 91337B(3)W(66.0)
( J-Mathew Gillies )
