  F:   B(5)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( T- Michael & Matthew Pitman )

  Another Pitman runner and this one on debut. The fact that top jockey Tina has been given the reins to this one is interesting

  Consider

  Dividend : $3.10

  Place

  F: 53465   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Brett Murray )

   ( T- Michael & Matthew Pitman )

  When the Pitmans have more than one in a race, it can be hard to determine their best chance. The jockey can be a clue

  F: 7X790   B(3)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

   ( T- Kevin McAuley )

  Place

  F: X9343   B(3)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Virginia Mackle )

  This lightly raced 4yo has shown good progress in its second campaign and with Whanganui jockey Leah Hemi being reunited with it today, it rates a strong chance of getting its maiden win

  Main Danger

  

  1 El Fuego  

  F: 020X3   B(6)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Krishna Mudhoo )

   ( T- Malcolm Price )

  Was finishing over them when resuming two weeks ago and looks a good EW chance. In behind She's Sinatra that day but will be improved

  Next Best

  

  10 Andina  

  F: 0945   B(2)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Kylie Williams )

   ( T- John & Karen Parsons )

  The step up to today's 1600m two starts ago has resulted in two close up finishes and looks certain to be in the mix today

  Consider

  

  5 She's Sinatra  

  Dividend : $1.60

  Place

  F: 0X652   B(7)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kendra Bakker )

   ( T- Lance Robinson )

  Registered its first placing when beaten in a photo finish two weeks ago. Would have been rated higher but for the wide draw

  F: 04045   B(8)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( T- Clinton Isdale )

  Consistently finishing in behind the placegetters and it won't take much of a change for it to show up. Maybe the drop back from 2200m today will do the trick

   ( J- Krishna Mudhoo )

   ( J- Floor Moerman )

   ( T- Nikki White )

   ( J- Donovan Cooper )

   ( T- Maurice Forde )

   ( J- Brandon May )

   ( T- Michael & Matthew Pitman )

  Albeit a 30 start maiden, the reality its last two runs have been its best. Just needs to overcome the draw

  Main Danger

  

  9 Quisiera  

  Dividend : $1.00

  Place

  F: 77X22   B(5)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

  Place

  F: 22531   B(5)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  After three seconds prior, this Te Akau justified favouritism with a well deserved win here three weeks ago. The reason Bruno has travelled here today and it should pay off

  Main Danger

  

  4 Sir Sigaro  

  F: 60210   B(4)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Corey Campbell )

   ( T- Samantha Wynne )

  F: 13323   B(6)  W(59.0)

   ( J- Floor Moerman )

   ( T- Robbie Holmes )

  This harness trainer has this one in good fettle and it is a model of consistency. You'd have to expect it to be in the places again, with a handy draw to advantage

  Consider

  

  3 Pequot  

  F: 7410X   B(11)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Tina Comignaghi )

   ( T- Lance Robinson )

  Obviously well thought of as considered good enough to run in the Guineas in March. Will have matured during spell and one to keep an eye out for this campaign

  F: 22660   B(8)  W(56.5)

  6 Gatzby  

  F: 02404   B(1)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Kylie Williams )

   ( T- Lyn Prendergast )

  Only needs to run up to its last start to be winning this. Rails draw and Kylie Williams are the positives too

  Main Danger

  

  4 Jing Jing  

  F: 03538   B(3)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Brandon May )

   ( T- Pam Robson )

  Won

  F: 31095   B(10)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Brett Murray )

   ( T- Michael & Matthew Pitman )

  We expected this Pitman runner to win last start, as did plenty of others as it went off as favourite. They've handed the reins to a senior jockey today and that might bring the desired result

  Consider

  

  5 Light Of Plutus  

  Dividend : $2.60

  Place

  F: 06332   B(5)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Krishna Mudhoo )

  29 runs and yet to greet the judge but certainly deserves to do so. Went close here two weeks ago and might improve on that today

   ( J- Bridget Grylls )

   ( T- Kezia Murphy )
