F: 1B(5)W(57.5)

F: 60732B(3)W(57.0)
( J-Kozzi Asano )
( T-Benner/Wynyard )
We think it would have won at Whanganui last start if it hadn't got so far back early. Ready for the step up to 2100m now and Kozzi riding well right now
Main Danger
Boomtown Boy
Indicative Odds: $ 3.60
F: 01255B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Adrian Bull )
Capable 4yo out of the Adrian Bull stable and should have won more than the one race, having finished runner up 7 times! Drawn well today and will be coming hard up the big straight here

A brilliant return to racing last campaign, when it went to another level in winning all three days at the Riccarton Cup Show Week in November. Spelled and now resuming and can carry on the rise through the grades
Main Danger
Candle
Indicative Odds: $ 4.00
F: 36313B(3)W(58.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )
( T-Guy Lowry & Leah Zydenbos )
Got the firmer ground in December and came home with a wet sale to win going away. But for being slow away last time, might have repeated the dose but still a nice run. Extra 200m should be ideal

F: X1265B(2)W(58.0)

3/4 length behind Candle at Hastings three weeks ago and that one was finishing the stronger. Unlikely to turn the tables

9yo now and has been a great campaigner. Showed itself to still be competitive two weeks ago, when beaten less than 2 lengths
