Good run considering it came from the outside gate to finish third last time, at only its second start. Extra 200m should be ideal

As is often the case with runners from this stable, it showed good improvement second up. Rails draw here and with further improvement, rates a chance at good EW odds. Scratched yesterday

( J-Rory Hutchings )

As having a favourite at $6 would suggest, this race is open to many chances. But we genuinely think that this 6yo is racing better than ever. Yes its dropping back from 2000m but it looked sharp when winning a trial two weeks ago and the trainer/jockey partnership is a formidable one

2 Meaningful Star
F: x4119B(15)W(57.0)
( J-Kevin Stott )

Drawn wide but it might be able to overcome that with the right run. This seems more its distance and with five weeks since its last run, should be able to drop back alright

Surprise winner over a goof field two back, the record shows it was eight last time at Trentham. But what that doesn't say is that it was only a length off the winner. Nice inside draw

Clearly its future lies over ground and it was a good effort to win the NZ Derby Trial three weeks ago. That class takes it a long way to winning this but concern is that it's dropping back to the 1600m. Rails draw to assist

Joe Doyle takes over and he's a good rider to have on your runner. Not far behind Koheroa last start and that looks likely to develop into a decent type
