  F: 9X64   B(1)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

  In behind Transcend when resuming two back and that looks like a good run now, the way Transcend won last weekend. Third up and rails draw

   ( J- Jonathan Riddell )

   ( T- Bill Thurlow and Sam O’Malley )

  6 Legacy  

  F: 44X4   B(5)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( T- Johno Benner )

  Just the 3 runs in nearly a year so lots of room for improvement. That's probably where we see it today, improving

  F: 1   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

   ( T- Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie )

  Looked pretty smart when winning on debut on the synthetic and now switches to the turf. Soft track shouldn't be an issue as it won its trial by 4 1/2 lengths on a Soft5

  3 Wyndstorm  

  F: 145X0   B(1)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Matthew Cameron )

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

   ( T- Peter and Trent Didham )

  Had won a trial prior to the Whanganui Guineas run so we were a bit disappointed to see it finish a bit off the placegetters. Better for the run though

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Kevin Myers )

  Kevin Myers runner that did well when up to 2000m for the first time, last start. Trainer will be keen to get the greater share of the $40k stake here and interesting to note he has turned to this experienced apprentice, who is riding really well

  12 Dojakata  

  F: 49454   B(4)  W(54.5)

   ( J- Leah Hemi )

  F: 42246   B(4)  W(54.0)

   ( J- Elen Nicholas )

   ( T- Team Rogerson )

  It never did meet the potential it showed as a 2yo but has still been a good money earner. Has been racing better of late, and this 2100m might well bring the best out in it today

  Has won three but could have been so many more as has been runner up 10 times! That's testimony to its consistency and up to 2100m more suitable today

  There's no substitute for class and this mare has it. It's lead up race, and win, at Whanganui a month ago showed it's in fine fettle and with Matt Cameron on the reins, we're expecting it to go back to back
