F: 07X2B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Matt Cartwright )

Stephen Marsh has 3 in the race. This one is only having its fourth start and looked much improved when running second after a 5 month spell last time

Stephen Marsh runner that looks full of promise. Interesting to note that Craig Grylls has got off to ride Los Santos

13 Scaredoheights
F: 75B(4)W(55.0)

The McKay stable also run this 3yo and it looks progressive, with the extra 200m likely to suit

Good to see this capable jockey back on the race track, and will be keen to get some wins under his belt. Rails draw

F: 22687B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Peter Lock )
A winning run isn't far away for this 5yo, having been runner up in 3 of its 7 starts. Has similar credentials to Los Santos in the first, and that one might frank the form

F: 54597B(6)W(56.5)

1 Giacomo
F: 3X384B(9)W(61.5)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Peter & Shaun McKay )
This one was only 2 1/4 lengths behind the improving The Odyssey last time. Furthermore, that was over 1600m and will find this 2200m more suitable
Main Danger
2 Balance Of Power
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 14X78B(2)W(60.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Don't let the 8th placing last time put you off this one, as this Te Akau runner was only just over 3 lengths behind its stablemate then, 3 weeks ago. With Craig Grylls now taking the reins, expect it to go close

F: 21X49B(7)W(54.5)

F: 2B(9)W(57.5)

From good stable and resumes after 6 month spell, and now sure to be more mature. Well backed in both runs last time and with Te Akau runner scratched, this looks an ideal opportunity

F: 47XB(11)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Consider
1 Capote
F: 42B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Matt Cartwright )

Just the two runs and has to be considered on how well it went in the first of those. Concern is though that that was on a Heavy9 and the track will be a lot faster today
