( J-Krishna Mudhoo )
( T-Jo-Ann Gordon )
In a weak field, it does look to have the best credentials to run a place, having previously placed second, three times

Dividend :
Place
F: 2B(2)W(54.0)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Robert Dennis )
That was some effort to run the well considered War Of Silence to a head, when on debut three weeks ago. An 'all up' with the favourite in the first can reap a return

Dividend : $2.30
Place
F: 549B(6)W(54.0)
( J-Floor Moerman )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )
This 3yo filly out of the Kevin Tyler stable is clearly well regarded, with all its 3 runs to date in Stakes races against the best of its age. bit off them but this is a big drop in class
Next Best

The 'roughies' aren't likely to feature but if you're looking for one to boost your multis, this one should be it. Rails draw

Had to like the way it finished off its last race to win but the concern now is that it is up over 60kg. Drawn wide at 9, it makes winning a real challenge.
