( J-Tegan Newman )

We'd selected this 5yo a few times recently when it was running in R75 without winning so we were surprised when it won an open last start. It has been a good improver this campaign and that was a stylish performance last start

2 Lord Of The Sea
F: 515x4B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Annabelle Johnson )
A race with many chances and that is reflected with the odds on offer. Here's one that seems to be a real chance if improving forward what we thought was a terrific run when resuming on Boxing Day. Wide draw then, got back and was finishing to good effect ... and now rails draw and an extra 200m
Main Danger
10 The Exponent
F: 8x652B(8)W(57.5)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Stephen Marsh )
Stephen Marsh runner that was favourite at Rotorua last time and finished the race off well for second. It looked like this extra 200m here would be perfect

Two wins and six seconds is testimony to its ability to win this but hasn't run for eight weeks, so 'favourite' tag makes it a bit short for us
