9 Shacktime
F:B(1)W(55.0)

From a stable that is in top form right now. No trials but TAB has opened it as favourite, a sure sign its got a good reputation in the stable. Rails draw

3 The Scunner
F: 26x11B(8)W(59.0)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )

Capable Awapuni trainer has this 5yo going well after a seven month spell. Its maturity has seen it win both starts and, having only its 7th career start today, there is clearly still upside to its form
Main Danger
10 Bridal Train
F: 421x4B(1)W(55.5)
( J-Toni Davies )

Well rated by this in-form trainer, it went a good race in unsuitable Heavy track conditions when resuming three weeks ago. With rails draw and 3kg claim, hard to beat

Trainer doesn't race many but tends to pick up a winner at this time of year, so worth a small interest
