F:B(5)W(56.5)
( J-Kin Kwo )
( T-Tracey Hickey )

( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )

F: 38645B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-Kenny Moore )
Has finished close up in all of its last three runs and now drops back from R75's. Good run over 2600m last time so stamina in the Heavy over this 2200m won't be an issue

F: 87523B(6)W(60.0)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-Anna Furlong )

Consider
5 Richie's Dream
Indicative Odds: $ 7.50
F: 88445B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )

F: 72801B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Hayley Hassman )
( T-Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson )
Still only a 5yo, Te Akau have managed this galloper tremendously well and it's last start win at the end of February made it win number 6. It was a good effort too, coming out of gate 13 and now this smart apprentice takes over, it is a kg better off today
Main Danger
8 Toa Haka
Indicative Odds: $ 6.50
F: 11834B(2)W(55.5)
( J-Jack Taplin )
( T-David Walsh )
Three lengths behind Texas Dolly last time and that wouldn't normally auger well for its chances today, but it has the pull in the draws today and prefers the Heavy
Next Best
4 Our Echo
Indicative Odds: $ 13.00
F: 00803B(1)W(57.5)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-Danny Frye )

Consider
1 Sir Albert
Indicative Odds: $ 5.50
F: 12282B(3)W(62.0)
( J-Brett Murray )
( T-Terri Rae )
They don't come more consistent and honest than this 6yo and it is dropping back from a second placing in a WFA last start. Would be rated higher but for the Heavy track
Longer Odds
12 Bella Luce
Indicative Odds: $ 14.00
F: 1890XB(10)W(54.0)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Lance Robinson )

F: 24618B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )

Sticks in the R65 grade, and only up 1 1/2 kg for an impressive win last start. With Sam Collett in the saddle again, we know it will get a good run and a chance to go back to back

Indicative Odds: $ 5.00
F: 30407B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Yogesh Atchamah )

This stable has a number of northern imports now and this one has its southern debut today. Will measure up to this opposition and just needs to have the fitness to be a danger

F: 30354B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Tina Comignaghi )

F: 42024B(14)W(60.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )

Indicative Odds: $ 13.00
F: 25630B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Mereana Hudson )
( T-John Blackadder )

( J-Tina Comignaghi )
( T-Anna Furlong )
We were most impressed with this former northerner's win on this course 3 weeks ago, particularly as it came out of the outside gate. The concern is whether it will handle the Heavy track
Main Danger

Indicative Odds: $ 6.50
F: 32131B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Corey Campbell )
( T-Jamie Bullard )
Given it is yet to finish out of the top three in any of its 12 starts, it has to be a strong chance here. Furthermore, it has won two of its last 3 starts

F: 31518B(7)W(56.5)
