F: 4x6B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Lily Sutherland )

Kevin Myer looks to have a 'live' prospect in this and the market reflects it. Furthermore, Michael Pitman doesn't seem overly confident about the chances of his two runners

Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 6B(6)W(55.0)
( J-Kylie Williams )

( T-Andrew Carston )
Andrew Carston has two in the race and you'd think this is the better of them, given Joe Doyle rides
Pitman runner that showed its ability in placing in the Gore Guineas and winning a Listed race as a 3yo. Showed it had returned in good shape, winning over 1200m, and while it will want further, this looks well within its grasp at this stage

F: 57x25B(7)W(54.0)
( J-Ashvin Goindasamy )

Second to the Midnight Runner at Riccarton when beaten just a 1/2 length. They meet on the same terms but think this one might have the improvement from that on its side
