F: X0121B(12)W(54.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
With $100k in stakes, it's not surprising to see this race attract such a competitive field. The Gray partnership have a talented galloper in this one and Bruno adds to its chances

The Te Akau stable have put this one up for the race, from a few in the stable that they could choose from. Would be fitting for Opie to win it on his first day back

F: 26X51B(9)W(54.0)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Peter Lock )
Very impressive when winning here three weeks ago and, as it was only its second race since a break, will take improvement

Next Best
12 Timex
F: 5B(1)W(56.5)

Place
F: 427X7B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Opie Bosson )
