( J-Vinnie Colgan )

Although its last run was 7 weeks ago, when it ran better than expected into second, it has clearly trained on well as its trainer gave it out as his weekend's best. We think he's right

F: 90X64B(3)W(58.5)

Consider
10 Our Solana
F: 52X8XB(4)W(56.5)

From a good stable and a promising run to be less than 2 lengths away on debut, it is expected to be in the mix today

( J-Lynsey Satherley )

Behind Single Red on this course two weeks ago, and not far away, despite coming out of gate 16 on that occasion. The way that one won again yesterday, that might be good form

( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
With Night Wolf opting to start in R5, it improves the chances of this Te Akau runner. Unlucky not to have the photo finish go its way on debut, it will be improved for the run and now Craig Grylls is on the reins. Rails draw to advantage

Not far away in all of its recent races, without threatening, but it won't take much to see it in the mix. Matt Cameron might be that factor
