Won
F: 62653B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Billy Jacobson )
( T-Amber Hoffman )
A 14 start maiden that on the face of it doesn't sound like 'favourite' form, but in reality there isn't another runner with its credentials, given it has run second three times and has has 3 runs already over middle distance
Main Danger
2 Sparky
F: 44030B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Nikki & Barrie Blatch )
This 5yo was going OK until last time, and given it was beaten 44l, things were amiss there. Terry Moseley is reunited today
Next Best
1 Aye You
F: 50943B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Maurice Forde )
This one was placed for the first time in its 18 starts at Kumara last time and might now continue that improvement
Consider

Dividend : $2.50
Place
F: 065B(4)W(56.5)
( J-Brandon May )

Only the 3 runs to date so needs to be considered, as it will now be getting the hang of things. Up to 2200m for the first time
Longer Odds

( J-Brett Murray )

Won
F: 32224B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Ruvanesh Muniandy )
( T-Shankar Muniandy )
Not only has it been second in three of its 5 starts, with a bit of luck it might well have won two of them, beaten a nose in one race. Comes into this after a small break and will be even better now
Main Danger

Dividend : $1.10
Place
F: X2373B(8)W(58.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-John & Shane Phillips )

Place
F: 06083B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Akshay Balloo )

Consider

None of the others that have run offer much hope of a win but this one hasn't been too far away in its last couple

Next Best
2 Sestina
F: 61324B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Jo-Anne Dalton )
If this was over 2200m, this well performed 6yo mare might well have been our Top pick. Will be finishing over them in the straight
Consider
6 Short
F: 54414B(1)W(54.0)
( J-Terry Moseley )
( T-Anna Hewitson )
Found sestina and co too tough in an Open last and likely to again. Rails draw but place at best

10 Pure Glam
F: 3B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Donovan Cooper )
( T-Kelvin Tyler )

( J-Lee Callaway )

( J-Brett Murray )
( T-Amber Hoffman )

F: 049X4B(4)W(58.5)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Lisa Vaughan )
Won a trial prior to a good run when resuming, after a 7 month spell, at Gore a month ago. If early support in the market is a good guide, then it will be winning
Main Danger
7 Forseti
F: 69325B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Triston Moodley )

F: 30X50B(6)W(57.0)
( J-Triston Moodley )

8 Courte Xena
F: 85751B(4)W(56.5)

Yes it wasn't the strongest field when this one won on its debut but win it did, and has the rails draw today
