  F: 85271   B(9)  W(60.0)

   ( J- Logan Bates )

   ( T- Lyn Prendergast )

  6 Rosso  

  F: 92041   B(9)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Michael & Matthew Pitman )

  Impressive when winning at Ashburton 4 weeks ago, its first run since coming from Australia. Add to that Sam's good strike rate for the Pitman stable and we expect it to be going back to back

  F: X2221   B(1)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Yogesh Atchamah )

   ( T- Len & Lacy Stewart )

  Has has 4 runs since its spell last March and its form has been terrific, capping off a run of 3 seconds with a gutsy effort to win here two weeks ago. Rails draw and this extra 200m should suit it even better

  Won

  F: 1X135   B(2)  W(60.5)

  Consider

  

  7 Smartroad  

  F: 28191   B(4)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Samantha Collett )

  6 I'm Feeling Lucky  

  F: 04402   B(13)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Sam Weatherley )

   ( T- Michael & Matthew Pitman )

  F: 189X1   B(3)  W(53.0)

  F: 48X52   B(14)  W(56.5)

   ( J- Bruno Queiroz )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  A very classy performer early in its career and looks to be getting back to that ability again. Obviously a big chance but does strike a wide draw again and at these odds, not good value

  3 Third Decree  

  F: 10X23   B(7)  W(55.0)

  12 Archaic Smile  

  F: 22X45   B(11)  W(55.0)

  9 Contemplation Bay  

  F: 60X53   B(13)  W(55.0)

  F: X7841   B(6)  W(55.5)

  9 Bundy  

  F: 21033   B(7)  W(58.5)
