  2 Mary Shan  

  Dividend : $1.40

  Place

  F: X1711   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  This mare is at career best form this campaign and will be tuned to the minute for this. Craig Grylls and the inside draw lean us to winning this, in a competitive field

  Main Danger

  

  1 Provence  

  F: 1X721   B(8)  W(59.0)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  A very gutsy performance by this Stephen Marsh trained 6yo to beat Waitak at Trentham last start, and took its record to 7 wins from just the 19 starts. Looks certain to be first or second

  5 Moving Melody  

  F: 43076   B(4)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )

  A good run on New Years day and now Damian Lane, over from Australia, takes the reins. He'll ensure it gets every chance

  Consider

  

  4 Frostfair  

  F: 84302   B(10)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Warren Kennedy )

   ( T- Lance Noble )

  First run for a month but this stable is renowned for fresh up winners and just unfortunate to have drawn so wide

  Longer Odds

  

  9 Power Of Three  

  F: 4X171   B(1)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Angela Jones )

   ( T- Cody Cole )

  A much improved mare this season, it has won two of its three starts and still has upside

  2 King's English  

  F: 3311   B(7)  W(58.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Just the two wins but it has been the manner in which it has won them that's impressed us. Great turn of pace. And Opie takes over the reins today

  F: 313   B(2)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Went to the 1000 Guineas straight after her maiden win and exceeded expectations, finishing just 4 lengths away. Sure to have matured in the 2 1/2 months since

  8 In Haste  

  F: 1X12X   B(2)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Logan Bates )

  F: 11   B(11)  W(56.0)

   ( J- Ben Thompson )

  Unbeaten and ha the services of good Australian jockey. Has the ability to be there but unfortunate with the draw

  1 To Bravery Born  

  F: X16X1   B(1)  W(58.5)

   ( J- Rory Hutchings )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Another Te Akau runner and incredible to think that a winner of four from 8 can be paying $12. Rails draw too

  Place

  F: 2X125   B(10)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr )

  Over from Oz but the key to its chances, and why we're selected it, is the added value that Craig Williams offers. He's a jockey for the big time and times his runs beautifully

  Main Danger

  

  9 Hinekaha  

  Dividend : $1.90

  Place

  F: X5111   B(4)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  Simply, it's had a great campaign and brings winning form to the race. Has improved out of sight and has more upside

  11 She's A Dealer  

  F: 5X114   B(6)  W(55.5)

   ( J- George Rooke )

   ( T- Roger James & Robert Wellwood )

  Another that has resumed as a 4yo and taken its performances to a new level

  3 Checkmate  

  F: X9X03   B(5)  W(57.5)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  Was always rated in its races as a 3yo and we think it should have won more. Looks to be peaking at just the right time

  12 Smart Love  

  F: 11148   B(1)  W(55.5)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

   ( T- Lance O'Sullivan & Andrew Scott )

  1 Kinnaird  

  F: 11   B(2)  W(57.0)

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Te Akau runner that has been our selection for a few weeks now. Beautifully managed, it has progressed beautifully from when it was taken south to a small meeting in the CD to then 'tested' against a G2 field on New Year's Day, which it passed with flying colours

  Main Danger

  

  9 Dream Roca

  Won

  F: 21   B(1)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Ben Thompson )

   ( T- Liam Birchley )

  Australian raider that forwent the Millions meeting at Queensland last weekend for this and sure to be hard to beat. Rails draw to advantage

  Dividend : $2.10

  Place

  F: 14   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Damian Lane )

   ( T- Ben, Will & JD Hayes )

  Another over from Australia. Impressive when winning on debut at Caulfield back in October and the spelling to mature. Will be fitter for resuming run 3 weeks ago

  Consider

  

  8 De Armas  

  F: 11   B(9)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Kelly Myers )

   ( T- Johno Benner )

  Unbeaten in two runs, it too was spelled and given time. That looks to have paid off, judging by its 4 length trial win 11 days ago

  10 Dashing Dixie  

  F: 1   B(7)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Joe Doyle )

  Won

  F: 1111   B(3)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Matt Cartwright )

   ( T- Stephen Marsh )

  The class of the race and with the the Stephen Marsh stable continuing its good form, it was a real bonus to draw the 3 gate. Showed its fighting sprit when it was needed last time and we'll be very surprised if it is beaten today

  9 La Dorada  

  Dividend : $1.50

  Place

  F: X0041   B(5)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Williams )

   ( T- Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

  Class filly as a 3yo, it has recovered that form at the right time and love the step up to 1600m for the first time. Craig Grylls makes way for a top rated Australian jockey

  Next Best

  

  10 Lollapalooza  

  F: 12522   B(11)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Vinnie Colgan )

   ( T- Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )

  Despite having won only the one race, its earnings of nearly $300k is testimony of its ability. Proven at the 1600m, will be there at the business end

  Consider

  

  13 Chilling Out  

  F: 311   B(9)  W(55.0)

   ( J- Craig Grylls )

   ( T- Andrew Forsman )

  It may not have beaten a particularly strong field two weeks ago, but its turn of pace over the last 200m was impressive. Up to 1600m just perfect

   ( J- Opie Bosson )

   ( T- Ben, Will & JD Hayes )

  Here too we have Australian runners and, to be honest, their sprinters do generally have the edge. Opie rides and he knows the course better than anyone
