W(55.5) ( J- Jake Bayliss )
( T- Richardson/Parker, )
Won
Dividends : $3.10 $1.50

Main Danger
8 Go Nicholas F: 28X52
W(54) ( J- Sam Weatherley (a) )
( T- Hale, Shelley Ann Miss )

9 Melody Belle F: 1110X
W(54) ( J- Michael McNab )
( T- Autridge/Richards, )
Placed
Dividend : $1.60

W(56) ( J- Cameron Lammas )
( T- Autridge/Richards, )
Placed
Dividend : $1.60
In Melody Belle's shadow for this but capable of upstaging her, says Te Akau. Two runs in, he can no longer rely on lack of fitness for an excuse.
Longer Odds
5 Rocanto F: 597X1
W(55) ( J- Vinnie Colgan )
( T- Marsh, Stephen Bruce )
Probable pacemaker and a very dangerous one at that. Won 5 times over the 1200m

7 Prom Queen F: X1119
W(54.5) ( J- Alysha Collett )

W(54.5) ( J- Jake Bayliss )
( T- O'Sullivan/Scott, )

Longer Odds
5 Maktoum F: 51
W(56.5) ( J- Michael McNab )
( T- McKee, Stephen John )
Another smart maiden winner. Superbly bred, he will win plenty in 3yo season - if he doen't get sold first. The runnerup in maiden has since gone on to win.

8 Belle Testa F: 53141
