Top Pick
4 Sir Albert
F: 1x472B(13)W(57.5)
( J-Lisa Allpress )
( T-Terri Rae )
Lisa rides for Terri Rae here again. It's not hard to see why Lisa has come south given the winning chances her rides have and, after a run just ten days ago, it will take a good won to stop it winning the Timaru Cup
Main Danger
3 Dazzling Miss
F: 37284B(8)W(58.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Terri Rae )
Terri Rae also looks to be the winning trainer in this, with this 6yo just a length behind Sir Albert ten days ago. That was 1300m and will be more suited to the 1600m here
